How Many Lost Their Tanks?

[jaBX1]

25% loss

most of LPS gone
all softies survived (still retracted)

no generator so the only light they got for over a week was the hour/day i would run light off my car.

only reason not 100% loss is because i put a hot water bottle filled with boiling water in the tank about every hour or so to keep the temp up.

I kept a pot of boiling water on my stove for 8 days strait!!:grumpy:

Lost power for a week in nassua county but I am a extreme reefer and was well prepared , sad to say I lost one fish , but everything is alive and kicking

 

[ReefDiver]

75%loss, 5 days no power. I'm determined to build tank back better than preSandy!! Tank temp got down to low 50's. Lost zoas, torch, birds nest. Anemone was first to go. Not pretty. 1/2 candy canes survived . Acans and Duncans made it. As did hammer. Some macro algae died, lot of red sea grape lived.One small clarkii lived, seems perfect. Big clarkii died. Scooter Blennie lived. Emerald crab made an appearance after months of hiding. Best to all who suffered greater loss.

Power just came back today. House smells like s!@# from the tank. Time to break it down and rebuild.

I lost power for 1 week, used battery power air pump. I also floated hot water bottles to keep the temp up as long as possible. I lost 1 clown fish. (She was 8+ yrs old.). Everything else is fine.

 

[meagheavz]

0% losses, never lost power! Living in the Poconos Mountains, we skated from this one! Feel bad for the ones that lost there livestock, we lost almost $6-7K on all of our SPS and chalice collection from the last hurricane Irene.

 

[motortrendz]

I'm on the Jersey shore. Lost power for 5 days during hurricane and 2 from the 12inches of snow we had. I lost everything and all my fish except 5.

 

[xclusive252]

Can you believe during all of this I was fine. Con Ed decides to fix something and last night I loose power to come home to u 65 degree tank. I lost a clam and a few corals. I know others have it worste. Just upset

 

[BobNY]

Got my power back Thursday night. It was a stressful 11 days, but I managed to make it through with 0% loss. My Monti's and Birdsnest's actually grew like crazy through this ordeal. Faster growth than I have ever seen from them.

 

[artie1209]

Lost power for 4 days, the 25 cube I lost nothing, the 120 lost 80% lost all 3 clams, all 15 LPS only three survived, 5 cleaner shrimp, all my fish except 1 blue green chromis and the lps are either dead or severly damaged. I am downsizing to a 65. I will not go through these kind of losses again.

 

[Hefe-Weizen]

Only lost one small monti cap that I have an over abundance of. Consider it zero loss so far. Had a neighbor with an extension cord and my vortech battery backup lasted 2 days. The heater was most important. Only dropped to 68 at one point.

 

[Edv]

50% Half lost after 6 days no power. But rebuilding.:sad2:

 

[Hefe-Weizen]

I am willing to help any of you rebuilding by donating a piece of orange monti cap and/or some green/brown palys. I wish I had more to offer. Local meet up or pick up only.
Just PM me.

I lost a piece of Brain Coral and a Green Carpet Anemone because the tank went down to 64 deg. I was able to use battery air stones to keep things going. Have since bought a 8500k gen set and am going to have the house set up with a transfer switch so I never have to go through this again...I Hope.
