same thing happens to me power out for a day and a half lost most of my sps took a month for the rest to recover so try not to change or mess too much let the corals recover
Last time I had a 1.5 day power outage from a wind storm and the temp dropped to like 65F. I ran my tank of a 400W inverter for 11 hours and then the next day borrowed a generator. I have a Trifuel generator but I wished I had a natural gas line installed. unfortunately i would have to run it directly from the gas meter on the other side of the house all the way across to the other side. So far just gas and propane for now that will last me 3-4 days.
Agreed! Hopefully the new generator will come in handy next power outage… I really should have gotten it sooner / no excuse give that I had a natural gas line specifically put it a year ago very close to the tank. It’s one of those things where I thought the battery backups will buy you some time, so you procrastinate and get bit in the a$$
5 days no power (Ottawa). No losses, 80L tank, battery bubbler + daily 10% water changes. Water was sun heated every day. All credit to my wife who tirelessly did all this maintenance, I just designed the protocol. I'm disabled, so we work as a team on our little nano. We were supposed to get 10 sps frags May 26, they're coming next week now. Sorry to hear you lost a few, we both love your videos.
I think it was your temp. If you want the basic survival, I think the vortech is okay and heat, you don't need the vectra. You can do a DIY battery backup using an larger lithium battery and some simple modification and you can have much longer support.
Hi Jac. Actually my PH is not ideal. New tanks always struggle with PH and one factor that I didn’t anticipate is how there isn’t as much air circulation in the basement and the fact that the tank is right beside an entertainment center, so kids practically live there. Last few weeks I really struggled to stay above 7.8 for the low and more than 7.9 for the high. I was planing on installing a kalk reactor a few month down the line, but I decided to go ahead and add it now; so far so good. I’ll do a full rundown of my equipment in an upcoming vid
