Wish Me & My Fish Luck/ 4 day Power Outage(Update)

The power went out sometime in the afternoon on Mon. (some sort of accident from the "improvements" being made in the neighborhood)and is supposed to be restored today.

So far so good for the tanks as far as I can tell.
I just haven't seen the Mandarins or Yellow Watchman Goby in the 46, but that's normal for nighttime (so since there are no lights it's kinda like a prolonged night).

The newest addition (added a day or 2 before this) is still doing well and is a clown so am not too worried. I also haven't seen my Yellow Tailed Black Blenny, but he likes to hide too.

I think what has helped is the macro that is in all the DTs.

Am hoping the corals make it and the Nem (which I moved to a fishless tank).

I've been using the dumping method for aeration and had to resort to hydrogen peroxide as well (just a few half doses). Luckily the tempurature has been nice so it's been hovering around 70 in the tanks.

So your prayers/good thoughts whatever are appreciated to get power back on today and the livestock be none the worse for the experience.

 

Good luck! Hopefully they all pop out shortly!

 

why dont you put a battery powered bubbler in the tank?

i wish you the best of luck

 

Thanks

End of the pay period and really had no money for it having to keep ice in the freezers and fridge and such. Will be buying a few though...just need to find a tackle/bait shop that has them.
Thanks.

 

any sporing goods store thats has fish equiment has them also

 

Good luck! This must be stressful. Hope the power gets back on soon!

 

Yes it has been.
It's supposed to be on before 1:30pm so anytime now. I'm at work but someone is at home.

We cleaned out the cannister filters and such so no bad stuff will be put into the tanks from them.

 

when you got the funds get a generator and then there will be no worries

 

Definitely. I've been wanting one for ages. If my folks were closer (or I knew it was gonna last so long) I'd have borrowed thiers if it's portable that is (I'm not sure how big it is).
Good idea for all reefkeepers.

 

All the regular fish made it but the seahorse did not nor did the nem, starfish, xenia, Anthelia(1 huge colony in the nano and a med. one in the 46), and last but not least my 27 head colony of trumpet coral.

The zoas look good and some are open, and the colt coral and kenya trees look like they may make it as well (though the ones in the nano are very sad looking). Also my hairy shrooms, one of which had just split seem like they will make a full recovery as well, though they are really shrunken ATM.
The little toadstool frag is iffy.
