My turn, lost power today ... generator (and dad) to the rescue!

So horrible to hear of so many folks have been impacted by the terrible weather and power outages. I had electric up until noon today ... and after seeing Jim Roth (great to see you again Jim!), I new I had to act quickly ...

My dad came over with his 5000W generator and within about 45 min, I was up to full power - heaters, filters, skimmers air and lights. Excuse the mess, still getting stuff setup since moving over the last tank ...

Here's a quick video ...

For those still without power - I'm so so sorry. Everyone on this board puts so much into their hobby, just horrible. Hoping things get better fast!

Yeah, I like big fish! That reminds me - I also bought a small freezer today to keep my frozen krill, prawn, mysis, etc.

Yes, big fish are fun - but I like the little guys too. Below, Garden Eel in the recently moved reef - found a good spot and seems to be happy. I wish the urchin would move farther away from him however!

yes, those little guys did lives long...!?
especially when you didn't see them for months and thought they are a goner... then suddenly you see them popup their little cute head and say hi to you...!
:encouragement:
 
Glad to see that you are ok and that you were without power for only 45 minute. I learned my lesson after Irene (had a generator and it crapped out on me). I bought a brand new generator and it was all ready to get going if I needed it. Luckily I didn't

I picked up a 6500W Generac with electric start (for the wife). Even if i have to use it ONCE it will be well worth the money.
