I don't have a large tank (33 long) but there's not a ton in it... I'd be happy to host anyone's corals or non-aggressive fish for awhile until you get power back.
No Power??!! Post Here for others

Chong, with all due respect, that's great news. I'm terribly sorry you lost anything, but 4 days could have/should have been a catastrophic loss. I'm sure it wasn't easy or fun. You're to be commended on a job well done. Kudos to you. Let us know what you lost and if we can do anything to help you get back to square one.

Power came back Monday night
6 days with no electricity:smash: . Con-Ed :bunnies: us again.
I want to thank each and everyone of you, for offering to help by holding fish and corals.
I lost everything but life never stops, so already i start rebuilding the tank again and soon i hope my new tank will be better than the old.
Thank you again MR.:grouphug:.
I am looking to buy some softies as soon as the tank is stable again.

Gary, I'm so sorry to hear about your loss. It must have been a horrific 6 days, and not only because of the tank.
Please let me know when you're up and running, stabilized, and most importantly, all set with a contingency power backup plan in place. House of Fish would like to be the first to donate a fish to your rebuilding/restocking. Good luck and next time don't be shy, utilize the offers of the rest of the great members of MR.

Russ, 6 days is hard, when you have a family.:splitspin Power backup plan for six days, you can do it only with a generator which makes too much noise for NYC.:tank:masterswimmer said:

I lost power in SI for about 5 hours yesterday, and i actually have a batt air pump on order. now i really see the importance of having a plan and some contact #s. Its one of these things that you kind of ignore till it happens to you. This is my first summer of reefing, i guess this happens all the time every summer.

a co worker just informed me that 3 grids have gone out in washington heights. i really hope that last one doesn't go out. that will be my ass. i'm glad that yesterday i was able to buy 2 battery powered pumps and put several bags of water in the freezer. i hope that will help some.
Not sure if it's true but here's an email I received.
My friend's dad works for ConEd - he just called and told her not to ride the subways any more today, as we will likely have a blackout. ConEd is sending all non-essential employees home right now so they can shut down power to their building. From yesterday's heat, Manhattan has 4 feeders out, putting a big strain on the system. He said in his 30 years working there, he's never seen ConEd act like this, especially at 10:30 in the morning. He said not to panic, but not to take a chance if it can be helped - avoid riding the subway if at all possible.
