Feel your pain. My 90G that was 5 years established died when we had a tornado come through and we were without power for 2 weeks. Was no saving it. Now I have a transfer switch on the house that I can take over circuits in the house with generator one being the reef tanks haha.
Fist off, I am glad you and your family are good. Two, that is a bummer. One reason I am thinking solar. I have my sort term power options, but not long term yet.

Ahhh, I had my skimmer air line to the outside. The county sprays for mosquitoes at night time down here. After trying everything, I was about to tear down the system. Then one night the bug sprayer drives by and the light bulb came on. it was the pesticide for the mosquito spraying that was slowing killing the tank off every time the country went by.

That tank would start looking good for a couple of days, then back down hill. I move the air line to the attic and problem solved. Then it was to detox the system, multiple cycles, and starting basically for scratch.

:D I like this one
Wow such a bummer. Glad to see you hang in there and keeping at it. ;)

Thanks Jsker it was a high EF2 almost EF3, came right down our street. We were fortunate in the neighborhood no one was killed or seriously injured. Happened in the Middle of the night too. Took months to get the house repaired and some had to be rebuilt. At the time losing the tank was the least of my concerns.

Do people insure their tanks? Is that a thing?
Renters or homeowner insurance would be only thing I would think you could claim on but don’t really know if you can where it is such a toss up and insurance I don’t think going to pay 1,500 because you crashed your tank

I asked My agent he said I’m covered under my contents coverage incase something happens… but more so for damage to the house than loss of coral/fish.
Insurance only covers equipment. So if the tank breaks and equipment is ruined they will cover that. Contents of your tank not covered. Has to be added as a rider onto your policy.

I'm a P&C underwriter here in Tampa. In my 15 years in the business there are no companies who insure reefs specifically. However if you are a renter or homeowner and have a standard policy, your base policy will cover 5% of your contents for any one item, minus your deductible.

No wear and tear though
