Well we have power again. But sadly we have lost all but 4 fish. Not sure on corals yet. Definitely lost one acro. I'll report back on how the rest recover.

Awe man that stinks. Maybe we can get a coral care package together for you once your tank is stabilized.

Yeah i've got a few things I will donate. Favia, zoas, acros. Just let me know when your tank stabilizes. So sorry to hear, it's a tough situation. Very thankful we didn't lose power.

I hope I'm not up **** creek without a paddle.... I am stuck in NY and my wife is home with the kids. Lost power yesterday morning and still haven't got it back... My wife has kept the fireplace going but I'm not sure how much longer it will last.... Bad thing is, I cant get a flight back until Thursday evening.... If we don't get power back soon, I'm afraid of the outcome.... :-(

Thanks rob I really appreciate that. So far looks like the octospawn, frog spawn and torch are going to make it. But my hammer looks toast. Lost the bird nest too. Thankfully Zoas seem okay.

OK... Full on panic mode now. Power company says it will probably be Saturday before we get power back.... :-( in an effort to save the livestock, all things alive in my tank are free to a good home if their are any takers.... I only ask that I am remembered when I get it back up at a later date and maybe scourge a some frags of things that live.... I just don't want to see it all die... :-( it sucks not being able to do anything about it.....

Gosh I wish there was something I could do to help right now. As devastated as I am for my tank I can free your pain from NY dude.

Not to Saturday? That's horrible news, your tank was looking really good.

If I had a way to get you my generator you'd be welcome to it. I probably won't be able to get my truck out until this all thaws. Barely got home today after an additional 3" of fresh snow around the house.

Nano, I know we havent talked, but I have a tank that im just startting to stock in addition to my main display.... If you want, Ill meet you somewhere and Load your stuff up and stick it in that tank, and as soon as you want it back we will bmake plans to give it back. Just wanted to offer. I understand if you say no. I am in Rutledge, which is way east of maryville, but i dont mind driving down to meet you


****Edit****


Just went back and re read your post. Since you are stuck, I will drive to your house and pick up what I can if you would like. I just wanted to make the offer.

News is good... The power just came back... They must have been aiming low and shooting high! Temp only got down to 73.3 degrees but I am still a little worried about not having any water movement for the past day and a half. Only time will tell! Thanks for all the prayers and concerns! Hopefully this was just a scare and not too much damage is done....

That's great news. I'm sure most things will be okay.

No worries. I'm new to the group and look forward to the meeting on the 28th to meet some other members and pay my dues as well. I hope to see you there!

I would suggest a big water change.....

After seeing multiple members having this issue maybe we need to consider having a club generator and/or power inverter.
