So, our entire city (pop. 5500) lost power for about 10 hours last Thursday.

Thankfully, it was caused by a storm which lowered the temperature from triple digits down into the 80s. I was out of town for work, so I couldn't tend to my tank (10 gallons). I was quite fearful as bad things happen quickly in small tanks.

I have a battery powered air pump, but it doesn't work well when I'm not there to turn it on. I had my wife stir the tank regularly until I got home Thursday ...

After nearly a year with no aquarium, I made my first additions to my new setup. I previously had a 55 gallon mixed reef, with plans to upgrade to a 125 gallon mixed reef utilizing an empty 125 gallon tank that I'd bought from a friend. After having to break down the 55 gallon prior to moving across the state, I decided that I never wanted to move a large tank again......After settling into our new house, I started to get the itch for a tank again, but........we didn't have plans to stay in this ...
