Unhappy Lost my Deresa to the Ice Storm

Like the title says I lost my clam to the ice storm. No power for 4 days. I had him for almost four years. I also lost all my fish and most of my corals. I hate that I have to start over again.

we have hurricanes down in here in Alabama, lost power for 4 days a couple summers back. invested in a generator right after that (all this was before my aquarium hobby began). I'm prepared for anything.

sorry to hear about your losses. generators are great!

generators should come before tanks on all our shopping list
also pumps on battery backup should be more common
damned weather

Sorry to hear about your loss. I hope you get a chance to start over very soon. I dread prolonged powerloss. Even with a generator, there is no guarentee against loss.
