Irene has come and gone. I had the same thing happen that happens during hurricanes like the tree on the neighbors truck and the usual house damage. I was not prepared for the loss that would happen though. Even during Isabel I only lost power for a few hours. I lost it for 24 hours this time. By the time I could get a generator it was twelve hours and my three tangs were dead. I had read where people were saying on threads here that there fish were Ok for days. Well I`m here to say that during a power loss you only have hours. I never answered those power loss questions because I personally didnt really know. I do know now to real hard experience. I lost my yellow tang (13 yrs), my yellow eyed kole tang (10 yrs) and my Scopas tang (8 yrs). I also lost my 4 stripe damsel (the second fish I ever got 13.5 yrs ago) My daughter gave me her generator to keep for future use. I feel so bad because we are ultimately responsible. Here are their pics.
