Hi everyone. I am in Lansing and we lost power at 400 We didn't get it back till 200 this morning I didn't notice till 400am. So my tank was without power for 12 hrs. I so far have lost 1 fish. The lights were not on when I left for work this morning so don't know how many others.

Any one else have trouble?

No, luckily I hooked up an inverter to my car and was able to run a few things to keep water moving....

 

[Mocerich]

I ran to Preuss and picked up battery operated bubblers to keep oxygen and circulation going. I know a lot of Detroit area is still without power though.

 

[caribbeanguy]

Loss power too. Loss no fish we ran shifts lifting water from the tank and dropping it back into the tank to help with circulation. So far so good no fish loss. They look a little stressed but I did not feed and it seems like the power is coming back on now.

I may still yet lose my M. Doreensis (Corkscrew) Anenome. It is is the hospital tank right now but is inside out.

I rejeuvinated my Cleaner shrimp with vigorous airbubbling and circulation when the power came back on at 330 am here in Windsor.

Man, I am kind luck out, my neighbor has power generator and he let me hook up a power extension to it. Everything is fine so far after 26 hours of power outage. Thank God,and my neighbor.

 

[mopar man]

I have a small 1000 watt generator I was able to run my return pump and fans. So I got lucky, everything is ok.

I might call my insurance company Monday. We lost a bunch of food too.

Lost a purple tang, green wrasse, green chromis, cleaner shrimp and perhaps 2 of 5 cardinals (Have only seen the 3), and potentially one of my 2 urchins who isnt looking great but I cant tell if he's dead or not. I'm freezing them to see if I can get some insurance money out of them. Xenia looks pretty bad at the moment, and that blue tipped stag I got from Ken (Mustang) is looking a bit bleached out too. Thankfully I did not lose my 2 clowns. Thats pretty much at least 50% of my bioload. I lost power for a total of 18 hours.

man thankfully I had a Generator But the power wasnt off long, just enough time for buisness's to close up and to make things a hassle. Havent lost anything and im thinking im in the clear for now, dangggggg sorry to hear about the mass loss people have experienced,If yall lived closer ID say throw it all In My tank for the time being.

I took pictures Chris! I am going to call ye old insurance company on Monday. I know that the tank is covered on the home owners. this realy bites though. On a happy note I am still on track for opening up the frag pools. I plan on spending some cash to get some rare acropora from the far reaches to frag and ease the pain with.

 

[PaintGuru]

I wonder what my deductable is. It may not even be enough to get anything out of my homeowners. I have pictures too, but I'm not sure if you can actually see the fish in them! Ah well, I'll give it a shot, and if they wont do anything, so be it.

I had a theft happen last spring. My wife and I went to a two day Medical seminar in LAnsing and our car was broken into. Teh vandal stold our palm pilots, laptops, briefcases at a four staf hotels parking garage.

We did not hace receipts for everything but they still covered it.


I think you should call, My deductable is 500.00 but a pump puked, a tunze puked and retail they are close to that.

 

[PaintGuru]

Group my fish onto your total for me Mike ^_^ I figure mine wont amount to more than $100.

 

[Guest]

I may. I am calling tommorow now!

Our power was out for 24 hours, 15 minutes. About 5 years ago I purchased a little Hagan battery powered air pump from Foster & Smith ($6 I believe)... it's never been out of the box. Well, I was fortunate to have a pair of new D batteries around, hooked it up, and it did a great job. I also filled an empty B-Ionic 64 oz bottle with water from the sump and dumped it in the tank about 3x per hour (at least when I was awake).

The result knoock on wood, but it appears we have 100% survival. Nothing even looked stressed during the entire outage. I was very pleased, to say the least.

I am glad to have power once again! I must have bailed 100 buckets of water from the house's sump, in order to keep my basement from flooding. Now if I only could take a shower!
