Default Mass Power Outages - Lower Mainland

Lower Mainland and Surrounding Areas are dealing with major wind storms that are causing Power outages all over the place.

I work in a security monitoring station and things are pretty crazy in here... but I found some time to alert my fellow reefers. If you live in the lower mainland, CHECK ON YOUR TANK.

Thanks. So far Burnaby South looks ok. The winds have died down but we definitely had a wind storm & hail earlier.

Sorry to hear that. Usually we get power outages here in Langley with any storm, but we escaped this time.

Was it the temp drop in your tank that did in your wrasses? How much did it drop in that time period?

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

The MIA wrasses may be hiding in the rocks & the leopard wrasse is probably hidden in the sand. At least I hope so.

Wondering, Leopard and Six line get along okay?

yes.. the 2 wrasse actually get along okay.. leopard does get pick on from time to time. but, after the initial aggression from the six line in the first week, six line stops picking on leopard. I guess having a leopard that eats prepare food does help.

I am hoping most of fish are just in the hiding. I am going to do a head count when I get home today.

temp drop to 74 or so, pH was probably about 7.5 before I got the vortech and air pump online before the power comes back.

a line from Halo "No Spartan is kill in action, they are just missing in action."

I guess until I see the body they are still alive somewhere.
