That sucks, you get generators to avoid such hassles! Anyway, I have gone 3 weeks with no lights and corals bounced back fine...not adviseable, but you will be fine in short time

Welcome back to the real world.
Thanks Guys, The thing I hated the most was feeling seperated from the outside world. No news, no phone and my cell was good for nothing but texting with the occasional check in here.
I have some work to do now. Here are 2 FTSs of the grim looking return
The one on the left is the 200g that had 1 mp40 w/battery backup which lasted 60+ hours! water stayed clear and lost no fish. ALL corals lost color
The tank on the right had no only manual flow when I thought about it. This water turned milky white and lost 2 fish. Xenias and huge colt coral shriveled up to nothing and I thought were dead.
If these things bounce back I will repost here for comparison
I wonder what the milky white is...bacterial bloom?.. My tank did that last year when i was away for a week and my neighbor dosed to much vodka.. it cleared up after a few days with a WC and cutting back on the vodka.. Don, did you do any water tests yet?.. Also if you need any RO/DI water i could bring some over
Water tests??? <sticks fingers in ears> What?
Made 45 gallons already, Thanks for the offer
Yeah I was smiling when i typed that about the tests..lol
