Oh and by the way Cale, assuming everything makes it, I got plenty of pink and green birds nest I would be happy to frag for ya...;-)
Anybody else lose power tonight, from the ice storm?

I think your right Rob, a big water change should give me a chance to get rid of any toxins and drum up a ton of oxygen....
As far as a generator, I'm not sure that should be something the club should worry about, but it does make perfect sense to talk through a plan on how to help each other in another event.... Maybe just knowing who has such equipment on hand, etc.... Good thoughts!

That would be real cool sir [emoji4]
Awesome News!!! I really look forward to seing you all in person at the meeting. On a completely different topic, get the heck out of those northern states and come back to the south... I have had the pleasure to have to work in Most of the New England states, and I havent lost a thing there. While in the army I trained all over the country, and I keep coming back to TN. That reason is shown in this thread. You neighbors actually care, and help when you need it. I have never seen such in any other place.
I have one with about 50 operational hours on it I'd like to sell. It is too loud for use at the campground which is what I currently need. If there's interest I'll look at it more closely this evening and propose a price. Just PM me would likely be best.

Will it was awhile but power final returned to the house. Here is a review of my week, Monday night power went out, Tuesday pick up what I thought was a decent generator for what I could afford. Got the generator set up and running, we'll Murphy's law strikes again. Right before I go into work it stopped, tried to figure it out but not enough time to spare. Came back after work fiddle with it a little and then gave up. Tuesday night I began heating water and floating mason jars in the tank, also covering it with blankets. I just continued swapping out jars until last night. So far I might have two possible casualties the wannabe bur pee and my bonsai. Everything else is mad , did a small water change. Hopefully I can do a bigger one later, got the skimmer on the wet setting and some of that ammonia pads. Also the lost temp that I saw was 66 that was on Tuesday, heating with jars brought it up to 74, sorry if this is all a jumble but it's been a long week.

Hope everything gets better! What brand generator did you buy?
It is a Coleman 3750, model number PM0543000.01. Has wheels and handle. Gas tank capacity isn't listed in my literature but I know I was able to run it for about 6-7 hours before refilling the tank when backing up refrigerator, lights, aquarium and a few other small load circuits during outages in the past. Couldn't find exact one for sale but comparable units sell for about $500. I would be willing to do $250.

The candy canes look like they will pull through, I can't tell what the second coral is but it looks like the tissue has gone to brown jelly...if so, there is little to no hope on that one.

Aww I feared that. I really liked it too. It's a plating galaxea? Here is a before picture..

Rob right on this one.... I had a lobo do the same thing. heater decided to quit, and like an idiot I didn't have a spare in the sump.... The lobo started stringing this mucous looking stuff, and it literally just disintegrated in front of my eyes, until nothing but the skeleton was left. I would move it to a QT if you have one, if nothing else, to keep all the dead tissue coming off of it out of your main...
I do not have any galaxea, but I have a nice colony of neon grean candy canes I should be able to frag, or better yet, have someone else frag them for me... I have terrible sausage like fingers that are good for a few things, but delicate operations is not one of them...

Did you buy a used generator? Sounds like it was a lot of work to keep the tank running, but it sounds like it was well worth the effort.

That's rough, there's no way I could have made it that long. Good thing you had a generator. Did you run the whole system off the generator, including lights?

Wow.. And here I thought I was the only one sweating it! I'm back home now and looks like I have a couple of casualties but all in all, I made it through I think! God speed to all you out there for a full recovery... ETRC takes it on the chin and keeps on moving! Good job all!
