Any one lose anything during the outage? Lost my power on friday 19th and just got back on a couple minutes ago. I got lucky my tank had no power for over 24 hours! IM VERY LUCKY! honestly I thought I was going to lose the whole thing. The temp went from 78- 63 during this time. I drove to my parents house in toledo ohio and picked up my dads generator. The honda saved the day. My corals seem to be stunned reluctant to open up. But the fish doing great.
 
Keep us posted on how it turns out. I know that there were several in the club that lost power, and I have only heard of one of them loosing anything from it.
 
No I have one thanks. First time I've ever had to use it for a power outage. All is well here.
 
Possibly tomorrow. Talked to one of the line guys today while they were scoping the neighborhood. Everyone on the surrounding blocks has power but they must know I have a few fish tanks that need juice and heat so they're rubbin it in. ;)
 
Hey fireworm, Sorry I couldn't make it to the meeting. I really wanted to come. but I was to busy running around worried about my tank crashing.
 
No problem. There is always next time. We are having one on january 24th and planning the one in feb. now. now we just need a few people to step up to host the ones after that.
 
I was without power for about 16 hrs. My tank temps went from about 78 to 70 before I hooked up a generator. The only thing I ended up losing was my Purple Monster frag and I am not sure if this was caused from the temp. drop or from the TMPCC dips I have been doing for AEFWs.

I feel your guy's pain...hang in there!!
 
I lost power on Friday @ 10:00 am. After work was able to hook up red neck style to my neighbors across the street. On Sunday morning, went and got a 5500 watt generator from Lowes. It ran almost everything in all my tanks including the mh's. Power was restored Monday night @ 6:00 pm. Nothing lost. Thank god for all the awesome line man that came from across the country.
 
I guess they don't like anyone on the entire block. Don't know what their beef is. LOL!!! That's OK though. Generator is kickin butt. Wired the furnace Sunday cause the gas fireplace and a small electric heater couldn't keep up cause of the frigid temps. Just wired the dishwasher and now doin a load of dishes. :thumbsup:
 
Mine came back on last night about 7:15pm. PITA considering ALL bordering blocks had power for at least a day before they turned ours back on. All is good now.
