Does the owner know if the fish and coral are ok??

call and find out. Good people, makes me sad.

If there was no damage to the sales area or tanks, the biggest issue is that power is off to the building

I talked to Donny today, he lost most of his dry goods, and power was off to only half of the store. His customers and friends have started a go fund me...i don't know how long the link will last, but spread the news.

Wait... Are the fish alive on that part of the store? Can he use a generator? I'll loan him mine for sure.

The complex owner is moving him to an empty smaller unit.

Talked to him today, said everyone invited to cookout at the store today, weather you help or not

 

[sassAwrasse]

Mike and I are heading over now to help out for an hour or two.

We spent close to 2 hours there helping wipe down tanks and things.

The damage from the smoke is extensive.

 

[Peter Dietz]

Well he be open tomorrow in his new store front?

 

[sassAwrasse]

I know they'll be there but I don't kbow what their "open" status will be

Luckily it looks like they saved the vast majority of the fish. Spent a few hours helping clean up and move tanks yesterday.
