Re: [GSAS-Member] Storm Power Outages

["Robert Jones Jr" <emmagatorone@gmail.com>]

My power came back on Saturday night.  When I lost power though, I was in
the process of losing my health as well (flu).  So, I don't know about
anyone else, but I typically don't care too much about my personal hygiene
when I am this sick and bed ridden.  So, I had a tank full of hot water
since the power went out.  I just did a daily water change and swapped in
some hot water to keep my temp near 70 the whole time.  I had acquired a
propane stove just in case I ran out of my own hot water.  Just when I was
ready to use it, the power came back on.  All of the discus and bottom
feeders made it!  Makes me really think twice about going saltwater with
this 100g though...
