Goby and pistol shrimp are alive.. not sure about the scooter blenny.. My sps are NOT doing good..
Anti ............. sorry to read the news........
as far as the sps.... they should pull through, just give them the light they need and maybe a HUGE water change.....

I ran a power converter from my car and kept a few powerheads going for a hour here and there, but it did not seem to do much good. I am left with a blue tang, pistol shrimp and goby. A few of my corals made it, but many of them were hit hard. I must say 4 days without power really does a number on a tank.. I am not sure how I am going to move forward here, but I must say I am lacking motivation..

well u might as well take everything out thats dead or not gonna make it u thinks! Than id do a parameter check!
sry just tryin to motivate ya!

The biggest injustice you could do to your self is to quit. Your tanks progress and appeal was inspiring. I understand how disheartening this could be for you, as I have lost hundreds of dollars worth of fish and corals, over time. But.... do it at Anti's pace.... and you will re-motivate yourself again through your passion of saltwater.
One of the biggest helpers that I found when I lost all hope, was its a good time to correct some of the things I didn't like in my tank, and make ammends to things that were "wrong". My 24 gallon is thriving since its early collapse, from things I learned.

I am sure I will get back on top, but for now I am just bummed..

Damn!!! Did you pay the bill?? Or another storm??

 

[anti]

Ha yes I paid the bill. Power is back now. Not sure what that was all about..

 

[siptang]

God's trying to tell you that you need to purchase a generator.

 

[anti]

I am moving this tank, along with my others in a week. I hope it all goes well..

Please, can you get a generator? My heart sinks when I think about what has happened to your tank. I can't wait to see how you rebuild and come back stronger than ever.
