Re: [GSAS-Member] Storm Power Outages
Power was down for 3 days. tanks got to just under 50deg. Arms got tired
from heating pots of water over the fireplace. So I sat back and prayed.
Only lost about 5 fish.
I think my plants were the only thing that kept my tanks alive. ammonia
levels didn't even budge in either 75 or 20 gal. 10gal was not so lucky.
lost the daddy convict. :( sad cause he was a perfect specimen with nice
long flowing fins. :( Oh well. Its a convict. I will try not to get choked
up. :P
Odd thing tho, the baby mollies in the baby floater in the 20 were fine
yet the Pike cichlid in there went belly up. (was my fav fish) guess even
their little bodies are more tollerant of such low temps.
I was hoping that the fish in the 75 would have gone so I'd have an empty
tank and an excuse to pick up some channas.
Oh well. Gonna keep propane handy as well as thermal packs in the future.
unfortunately apartments and generators don't mix well.
