Sorry to hear your situation. I was in your shoes only 2 hours ago. Emergency response and Pseg officials were telling us that we weren't going to get our power until Nov 6th and I had already lost 1 of my fish and a couple of my colonies (along with a few of my friends colonies). As soon as the first one started dying it was like a chain reaction going off. I have been soooo depressed, especially last night and this afternoon. Temps were down to 70 degrees, almost no flow and of course no filtration. My wife kept reminding me that our family was healthy and I could always start again and there were many worse off. While absolutely true, it's still extremely hard to hear that something you poured your heart, time, effort and money for 3 years will be taken away from you. some of these pieces took forever to grow from small boogers. Anyway, just when I was at my lowest, right after my wife and son got on a bus to head to my sisters (who has power in Queens) while I was cleaning my tank and trying to save a few colonies, the power kicked back on and scared the living bejesus out of me. Theres some loss in my tanks but the majority are okay, TG. I hope you have the same luck that I got and you get your power on. One thing is for sure, I will never go through that again. Even though I live in a second floor apt., I'm going to buy a small generator for my tanks. The bright side is that the govt. is really pressuring these utility companies to get with the program and push their efforts to restore electricity to customers. Good luck to you and I really do hope your power gets back on soon.
