OK we had a pretty bad issue last night.

The breaker on one of the powerstrips for the 125 tripped during the night...main pump, skimmer, and heaters all knocked off line - not sure how long...worst case 8 hours, best case maybe 4?
Holding tank went to 64 degrees...drastic loss of oxygen.

Most fish were lying on bottom breathing very hard. One confirmed casualty so far - our 8 year old flame angel:



The Regal doesn't look good. Not sure if she's gonna make it.

We did an emergency 20 gallon w/c - that's all we had made up in the vat that was warm and ready to go. Moved over another 5 gallons from the sump. Some fish starting to recover and move around a bit. Corals look rough, but will likely be OK... too soon to know.
