Morning everyone. Ice storm blew in last night, a solid 1/2 inch of ice covering EVERYTHING. Luckily ive got a generator. Reef doesn't even know the power is out. Anyone else affected by the storm? How are you fairing?

Yea man thanks. I use to live in NC. Grew up there until I was 19. Little town called Sanford. Live deep in the Appalachians of WV now, haven't seen ice like this since I was young man. We are still out of power. Although my reef doesn't know that . Hopefully power will be back on tmrw. It's a pain going to neighbors for a shower before work.I'm glad Y'all are safe.
Ice is no joke for sure. We don't get much snow but lots of ice.
Winter is HERE!!

I can't tell you if your food is still good beyond normal refrigeration in the main part of your refrigerator.Just got power back on a few min ago. Finally! Been out since Thursday morning! A few cold nights (15-25 degrees at night) but the generator kept my family and reef warm and cozy, even got to watch some TV! Thankfully it's back on tho.
All of my frozen food thawed and now some of my plankton are green.. anyone know if they are still viable? Didn't get "warm" just thawed, stayed cool tho. Maybe my food is still good?
Thank you sir. I can tell you nothing else was thawed at all. I had a bag of ice that wasn't thawed either and none of my food was thawed, everything was still very firm and frosted. For some reason my fish food thawed out. Like I said it remained cool just not in frozen state.I can't tell you if your food is still good beyond normal refrigeration in the main part of your refrigerator.
but for a future reference you may want to put a small transparent cup of water in your freezer and let it freeze.
Thenn add a quarter on top of it and keep it in the freezer.
When you have a power outage if the quarter makes it down to the middle of the glass your food *might* still be good as frozen food. But I personally would let it thaw out and use it up in the fridge or throw it out.
If the quarter makes it all the way to the bottom of the glass and refreezes you know the freezer has completely thawed out at some point and everything has had the potential to completely spoil.
Cheap insurance to help keep your family safe.
