Don't give up! It's not easy but a few hours can make a huge difference! =)
Still hanging on and I have a new Dory!

It turned out the power went out at 8:40 pm and it was restored about 2:45 am which woke me up because all my lights are smart lights so they all turned on upon restoration of power. I turned on the return pump for about 15 minutes and the tank temp had only dropped from set point of 78 to about 68.2 so it was ok. I went to bed and it was all fine come morning.

Sad day. My power was out for 48 hours and I kept trying to stir the tank for oxygen and what not and thankfully the temp stayed where it should be the whole time, but this morning the fish were dead. Buried Dory and Nemo in back yard. My mom helped me clean it up. I think I’m done for now.
