How Many Lost Their Tanks?

[MikeC]

they make fittings you have to put that stops the water from draining back into the sump. You really need to install that with your type of plumbing

Agree with Duke you need to at least instal a one way swing valve like this

Good luck.

Don't know yet too early to call but if it was summer it would be a lot worse...

Wow

Doing ok other than fish are a little stressed, mandarin doesn't look good. Have generator on during the day and I just thought of using my jump pack at night for heat and powerhead.

 

[tomtoothdoc]

so far lost only a couple of frags but of course they're my favorite ones. no fish nor crustacean lost......yet.

still no power since monday night. even though i got a small generator running the bare essentials, i'm running out of gas and access to gas supply.

so it depends on the final outcome on whether or not i'm gonna still be in the hobby. if i have a 90+% lost like last year, it's gonna be hard to rebuild. :sad2:

Wrasse live and well.....

Just because they look like they death. Doesn't mean they are. I had small SpS less than inch turn white and slowly got they color back. See if you see poly are still there. Give it time we can only see outside you never know....

100% loss
Not sure if I will get back into it

 

[Raul]

100% Lost...

Thought I had saved the fish because another member was holding them. Just found out Coned was working on the power and nuked his holding tank...

So frustrating... they were some high end fish

Not sure if ill stay

I'm in Chelsea. I have lost most of my livestock -- about 90% -- mostly coral colonies. I managed to save a mated pair of ocellaris clowns, my derasa clam, and a couple of gorgonians. Everything else is lost. I am definitely staying in the hobby, but I need to find a solution to this before I start up again.

 

[piranhapat]

What kind of luck for that to happen. That's horrible ....

 

[Flipper]

maybe a few vendors will offer some start up again specials. I dont even want to add up how much i lost.

id be prepared to sink some money back into it if i got a sweet deal on stuff. Better than looking at Live rock and the surviving soft corals.

84 hrs without power, still don't know when --0%--yet

 

[rcharliesam]

Edit

100% loss.

I wish I wasn't so selfish and just offered up my fish for someone else to have, I was just hopeful that my power would come back on. I just picked out the last fish this morning, tank is 59 degrees. Really bummed, but will probably stay in the hobby as well for my daughter.

 

[nharbarte]

Lost 2 tangs, flame angel & Copperband. 2 leather corals gone. Bubble coral is dying too. Pink hammer coral. Running on generator now (that cost me a lot). I'm definitely staying on this hobby. I will bounce back!

 

[h2o]

everything ok here never lost power.

 

[phk36]

0% so far now have power now. Started tank a few months ago have no coral yet just a few fish

 

[fab1971]

about 30% but may still lose more. Now my fish are all sick. I've been holding stuff for a friend that was on the shore and the corals he brought over were stressed as heck, then my power went off for 3 days and further stressed my tank. His losses are about 50%. Breaks my heart but I'm definitely staying in the hobby. Even if I end up losing it all. It will just take some time to rebuild though. Good luck to all of you. Power is finally coming back on for most.
