(ASAP)(UPDATE) Power out

Power just flickered back on! The coral looks horrible, but that is expected. All of my other FW tanks seem fine including the planted 55. Thanks again everybody! K+ to all 8)

 

Sweet. Glad to hear it.

 

Awesome. Power outages with tanks can be nerve racking. I imagine your corals will be fine...with no light and minimal flow they will close up and look pretty sorry. Glad to hear you made it through OK.

 

Thanks, Matt

Thanks, Jeff. I was getting very worried. They said we could see outages up to 4 or 5 days long. I guess not

 

I used to live in a fairly remote area in WA State. In the winter we would get wind storms with 80+ mph winds...having 150 foot tall fir trees is beautiful but not a good mix for high winds and power lines. Because of the scale of the outages and the semi-remote location (we backed up to the Olympic National Park) we were always low priority for getting power restored. It was almost always 2 or 3 if not 4 or 5 days before we got our power back. Glad you didn't have to go that long.

 

WOW, if I had to wait that long I would have probably picked up another 2 or 3 battery pumps.
You have a PM by the way 8)

 

Glad to hear it's back. Been there, done that never fun. I've lived here 3 years now though and never lost power. For some reason, idk, just thought I was pushing my luck or something, so I ordered a small portable generator. It amazingly arrived on time yesterday and has been on for the last 7 hours today. . Can't believe I went ten years without one. Kind of nice lighting the house with actinide actually.

Talk about good timing, M2!
I get worried about my tank easily and the power outage was no exception.

 

Agreed i Once had to do this for three days straight ! no livestock loss

I used to live in he country and we would loose power monthly. Those battery powered air pumps do go a long way. No worse feeling than seeing your tank sitting powerless though...
