Power outage last night( in florida non weather related) pulled out my portable Honda generator and plugged everything in but my cor 20 would not restart.contacted customer support and they started a ticket and got back to me quickly.evidently the outage fried my power supply. Luckily I had a backup return pump that had the same size threading and I'm glad I put alot of unions in the plumbing. Also tested my battery backup on my gyres and they kicked in right away.the problem was that alot of my corals were out of the water as they are grown to the top of the tank without the return pump running.will be cutting those down today,no losses though,,,,moral of the story ,,be prepared!
 
Solid advice. Too bad your power supply got fried. Sounds like you were able to overcome it.
