I don't have the huge investement that other people have in their tanks so having a portable generator is probably not the route I would go. The longest we have ever previously gone without power was 3 hours when lightning hit the transformer on the telephone pole. So hopefully this is a very unusual occurance. I'll just accept the fact that this happens sometimes and I was unlucky.
Updated livestock list now that the tank has stabilized after a few days and the skimmer has pulled out a lot of gunk.
-yellow clown goby reappeared as the only fish in the tank
- RBTA actually looks happy with lots of bubbles - although it has relocated itself to a bad spot on the tank
- all finger leathers dead
- all GSP dead
- all anthelia and xenia dead
- all hairy mushrooms dead but smooth mushrooms survived
- all pink and watermelon zoos dead but a few other varieties like boy scouts survived
- Pipe Organ looks pretty sick as does Montipora and gorgonian
- all green ricordia and palythoa survived.
- all LPS survived
- 1 snail survived
So I'm actually pretty surprised at the hardiness of the LPS and the Anenome.
The tank looks pretty bare but it could have been worse.
Thanks for the offer Anthony.
