I feel your pane.

My power was only off for 15 hours and I worked all night long to keep even the slightest water circulation. By 12:30 my corals were well stressed and the fish were suffocating. I decided to spend the night with a turkey baster and a 2 liter juice container to try and keep even the slightest circulation. By 4:00 am it was looking pretty bad. I had 4 fish and 2 shrimp that looked like they were dead. I was desperate. My large majestic had lost all its colour and was laying lifeless on the sand. At 4:20 am the power came back on and within a half hour the majority of the fish and the corals were starting to show some life. By 8:00 am I started to take inventory thinking for the worst.
After all this I lost my Cherub Angel and a cleaner shrimp. Tonight the rest including the Majestic angel were looking like they will all make it.
I was extremely lucky and I will now as we all should develop a disaster plan hoping that we never need it.

krisalexander I have some soft corals that may help to get your tank back into the hobby.
