The blackout started at 4:07 PM. It lasted till 7:00 PM on Friday night, almost 27 hours. I have two tanks, one a 75 gallon reef and a 135 all saltwater fish. All the fish were gasping for air about two hours into the blackout. All in all I lost 3 large fish from the 135 ( large adult imperator angel, large sailfin tang from the Red Sea, Clown Trigger, Flame Angel). These fish I had for at least 5 years. In the reef I lost at least 10 fish includeind a Purple Tang. A number of the corals died. Many of you know about about the large Kenya Tree I had. I hope that all of you were better off than I was.
