Time for a long overdue update with some pictures..
I've changed my rockscape around a few times trying to find something that I am happy with and think I finally got it. This pic is how it sits now but it's before I added some coral a week ago. A new full tank shot will have to come soon but for now... As mentioned I added a few corals and so far all seem happy a week later.. Radioactive moon coral Purple Stylo Stelata and Rainbow Loom Frogspawn |

Here's one of my Bangaii being curious...

Wow everything is looking really clean. Did you get any algae growth at all?

So a few days after the last update and pictures were taken, the storm to end all storms hit our area and we were without power for over 30 hours. I have not acquired the necessary redundancy equipment to keep things going during a power outtage and ended up losing a few things. My tank temp had dropped to 56 degrees. I attempted to keep oxygen in the tank by stirring, scooping+pouring tank water and keep the temp up by floating 2 litre bottles filled with hot water from the tap (we had hot water due to it being gas).. The heat would be gone from the bottles in 10 mins or less but it did seem to maintain the heat.. Obviously refilling 2 litre bottles every 10 minutes wasn't sustainable for 30 hours. I had to go to bed at some point and had to go to work the next day.
All in all, I lost my Banggai Cardinal, 1 SPS frag (Stellata), 5 snails and a couple hermits. Everything else pulled through, although I thought I was going to lose my Purple Stylo. It seemed to lose most of its polyps and most of the tissue, aside from a little "cap" of tissue/polyps on the top of the frag. Over the last few weeks the tissue has come back on most of the frag and the polyps are mostly all back. I've since replaced the Banggai Cardinal (though the new guy isn't eating as well as the one that died) and the snails. I've held off on replacing the Hermits for now. I also just added a few more corals last night! I added the following... 2x Torch frags Duncan frag Hammer frag (green base/purple tip) Green Birdsnest frag Rainbow Pocillopora frag Forest Fire Digitata frag Yellow tip Austera |

Sorry to hear about the loss. Good to see you didn't lose absolutely everything and had to restart.
Did you solve the lack of redundancy before adding new life? Chances are...there will be more power failures in the future. |

Yes I have plans in place this time. The biggest issue was lack of time prepare and not planning in advance. Lesson learned.
