so who else lost power?

I was down from 6:30am till about 3pm Friday. Losted only a superman frag that I was planing for the swap. What saved me was a battery power air pump that turns on when power is lost. My UPS lasted only 2-3 hours.

Wow My house is usually the one that goes black first before anyone else but my power has never been turned off this time. Sorry to hear about all the losses, time for everyone to rethink back up power these days I guess.

Mine was off from early afternoon until Late evening. I'd run the generator for a couple of hours in the middle of that to run the return, a tunze and the bm160. Had plans to run it again before retiring in the wee hours but the power came back as I was opening the back door. Took many hours last time before I saw any ill effects.

Power was out 9am - 1am. My harlequin tusk looked terrible to my surprise (I would expect the tangs to stress before him), but everyone pulled through in the end.

thanks for the kenya trees offers from kttsf and Finalphaze.
Kttsf, if you have time this weekend, can I get the tree corals from you?

I live in Orinda, my area lost power around 12 hours after that pG&e found the "battery" for our local area was dead, they didn't have the tool to fix that, then we were ignored until the power of all the other areas got back.

I'm in San Francisco near the Caltrain, lost power from around 10am to 4pm. Had a chance to use my backup air pump .
