amongst the trees
As of 1am this morning my 4 yellow perch died. the power went out at 7:45PM and was out for 5 hours.. :(.... they died an hour after they said the power would be back on (and of course it wasnt...) horrible way to die..


i will be back into the hobby very soon..... im getting a 125 and restocking it with baby yellow perch and various minnows...
 
so sad for you on hearing of this tradgedy,good luck... get back soon
 
sorry to hear what happened :(. Do you know what killed them(more specifically than just the power going out)?
 
i had a small bacteria bloom a few days before and the tank was still recovering.. the temperature also dropped, i did add some extra water to hopefully help but they died pretty fast.
 
Wow that does suck. If you own your home a integrated generator is a great investment. If you rent then a portable gen will will do wonders for peace of mind.

sorry to hear about that
 
i should have gotten myself a back up generator, this is the first time i can recall having a power outage that lasted more than an hour. i didnt expect it at all to happen, its just horrible it happened when my tank was recovering from an ammonia spike.
