My wife said she turned of "the ac" at 7:30pm. So it was only around 3 hours without power. But it's hot here in CA today. My room even worst.
I just did 15 gallons water change . Luckily I was able to borrow the refractometer from my dear neighbors reefer @CoralNerd. You are my savior bro!!![emoji173]️[emoji173]️[emoji173]️
Add 1 cup GAC, add air pump.
My yellow tang start swimming again. Polyps are coming out, except for the Pikachu, it still look very bad.

Just curious. Would these grow with CP lighting? Do you have to dose with them? I like the branching look. This is a down the road question.

Sorry to hear about the fish :(. I am sure you can bring the corals back but it's always sad to lose a fish. You don't use any controller on the tank?

Oh no, so sorry to hear about your losses. Hopefully the rest will pull through, you have a beautiful tank and collection. I was skimming the beginning posts, but do you have a controller? I have my apex set to send me a text if the tank loses power...

I have apex, but it have been offline for 2 months now since the Netgear (CE3001) went off. It's the second NetGear wifi to ethernet adapter I own.
oh, but Apex can't sent us a text when it lost power right? It only sent text when power is back up.

They need light to grow. Yes, they will grow with CP (or any light source that can grow plant) if you provide enough.

Oh no. I have to do a water substitution, I always do it on a scale in one tank.
And I know how much it takes a gram for this tank.
You can still hang a new coal in the bag .....
Hold on, everything will be OK.

Everything recovery really good so far. Only the Pikachu look stress. Polyps are coming out again, but if you notice, the base looks like it almost rtn.

The Fox flame is my frag tank was doing better so I decided to move it to my main tank, and transfer my frag to the frag tank.
