      Nothing died in my tank because I used a turkey baster as a flow/powerhead.Standing for 5 hours next to my tank paid off.

      I am so sorry for everyone that lost fish and coral. The tanks in SD were the first think I thought about when my daughter called me. I was so lucky. I live in Murrieta and my power never went out. If it did I would of lost everything. It was 99 here at 4pm and I never could have could have keep my tank cool. So sorry for all the losses.

      Thats with stiring up the water and trying to oxygenate it.

      Looks like we'll be getting some Battery operated Air Pumps and more than likely a Generator.

      The only thing our son was worried about was our fish.

      Unfortunately this will make the upgrade to the 150 a lil easier and sooner perhaps.

      All the percs made it so far, but the Platinums have a HUGE case of ich this morning. Don't know if it was just the stress (probably) that brought it out, but they look horrible. So sad...

      And to make it worse, every fish I pulled out had died with it's mouth open gasping for air <<sob>>. horrible fish parent.

      Hope everybody's day gets better, sorry for the losses...woogie, don't think you can blame yourself for this one, you are probably one of the most attentive fish parents I'm aware of
