Well I thought I dodged a bullet when Laura missed us, guess not. Laura tore up the transmission lines for Entergy (as many of you know), which evidently feed a lot of East TX. So they took our power down yesterday, unannounced to do the repair work. I scrambled & got a generator going but left work at 5:00pm & shut it down. I knew I would either be coming back later to run it some more or the power would eventually come up. Power came back on last night around 9pm (thanks Apex) so I figured everything was good.... guess not. The return pump on my Biocube didn't come back on & my mp10 is mounted way low so it barely causes the surface to break. Guess it didn't generate enough oxygen last night & I lost a Frostbite clown, a small yellow tang & some peppermint shrimp. Shocked that all the oxygen was depleted in 12 hours.
How do they manage to ship fish without killing them?
Haven't totally assessed the loss of coral yet, I know for sure 1 head on a torch is gone, we'll have to see about the rest.
Did learn another thing though.... battery back-ups suck! I have 3 and all three were drained in 20 minutes or less and all I have running on them is 1 return pump per tank. Money wasted if you ask me.
