Was on a once and a lifetime trip to Maui to do some snorkling when a dual disaster hit. Maui was a total loss a storm kicked up the first day we were there and browned all the water around the island so diving was out the second day I started getting calls from back home(washington State) that a hurricane was hitting home and that everyone was losing roofs and trees down so know one could get in or out of town as well as know one had power. I couldnt get anyone to our house with a generator to attempt to save our 400g reef system. So I grabbed the next available flight home to try to save the reef but unfortunatly I was a little to late the Dt tank was down to 55 deg. I hooked the generator up as quickly as possible but it takes a long time to get a tank and sump that size back to normal temp. I lost all the fish mostly tangs, all the acro's all the zenia. The list goes on and on. Its devastating to say the least. One positive thing that happend, before I got on the plane to come home the storm was pounding so hard on the beach in front of the condo it was washing up the most gorgeous chunks of live rock I've ever seen just packed with purple coraline algea. Well, you all probably guessed what I did next. It deosnt equal what happend. Still waiting for water parameters to equal out in the tank
