Short of pad mounted natural gas generator there isn't much more I could do. I am looking into putting together a DIY battery backup to run one of my vortech's. I have a couple decent size deep cycle batteries that I can use and should be able to get nearly a 48+ hour run time for one of my pumps which might have been enough to save them. Since my corals didn't go first I'm certain it was an Oxygen issue that did evertything in.
Thanks Mike, This is one of the few timers when Cyano and algae are going to be my friends. I have several mangroves, caulerpa, and seagrass downstair too that I'm keeping under 24 hr light for the next few days as well int he hope that they take up as much of the pollution as possible.
It's just totally gut wrenching though to loose all these fish and corals. I had finally gotten the point where I was growing Acros again and all that has been lost. I know some of my Caps look ok but the flower petal and a few encrusting monti's are really iffy right now.
It will probably be a week before things settle enough to be able to fully account for all the damage.
