I put a battery powered pump with an air stone in the tank and stirred it occasionally until I got the generator the next day, now that the power is on and did a water change everything is looking really good again.

Power was out here for 3 days also. I have major losses. All SPS and my Cherub angel, Six Line wrasse and Clown bit the bullet.

The little battery powered air pump did not get the job done. I did a small WC and added some ice cubes. I basically went into full meltdown and froze up in the clinch. It happened too fast on me. It looks like a baby serpent star and bristle worm mass suicide took place in their. The LPS and other things seem ok along with a blue chromis but we'll see... sorry to jack the thread.

Lol. Me either. We were out back swimming on a nice sunny day. Came in and hopped in the shower. Got out of the shower to look out side and see all hell breaking loose. It was pretty freaky.

The funny thing is that my wife's brother is actually an electrician who sells and installs generators among other things...
I mean the guy actually has a bunch of brand new in the box generators of all different sizes in his feed store... :banghead:
