For people genuinely in need, I'd be happy to ship heads of hammer to them. Or ship you a bunch of single heads and you deliver.
If you know anyone that is less fortunate financially and lost their tank, feel free to send me a PM with their contact info and I'd be happy to buy them some new fish/coral to help.
I feel the same, almost guilty, considering I some how kept power during this whole ordeal. Let’s make this happen somehow, like actually happen.
Actually this isn’t the case. My tank went 3 days without power in Louisiana. I was out of town and my home generator failed after the first day. I had somebody go and cover my tank with a lot of blankets until I got home. Water temp was 60 degrees 48 hours later when I got to my tank. I immediately removed everything dead and started heating the water back with hot water bottles warmed on the stove. I added the few fish alive to a 5 gallon bucket with parts of my rock work that had my favorite corals and left for the night. I finally got power back the next afternoon and immediately went back and did a big water change, added fresh chemo pure and brought the tank back up to temp and added my fish back. Some coral never missed a beat and others never had a chance. The only euphyllia that survived was a Duncan, and I have an octospawn on life support. Hammers and torches are all goners. Some zoas opened in the 5gal bucket, some melted away, and some are closed and TBD. Sps all died, softies are all on life support. Most rbta were dead on the sand bed but others are still alive. I think the water was so cold that nothing decomposed and spoiled the tank like I expected. I thought I was coming home to a complete loss. I took water samples before and after the water change and their was no trace of ammonia or nitrite. So while I lost some fish and half my coral, some still pulled thru and my tank is actually still stable. Now it’s just time to slowly start the replacing phase.
