Bad weekend

Post by afriars »

So this weekend we hit -20 up here in Nova Scotia
Couple this with a power outage and you get forzen pipes in my house.
The power outage wasn't very long and didn't affect my tank (yet).

I had friends helping me try to find and thaw the frozen pipe.
At some point someone tripped the reset on the Aquarium's power bar.
I was kind of igonring the aquarium as I had I was concered that 1 floor of my my house had no heat (I have 3 kids 3 and under). Once the crisis was over (2 days later) I went down to feed the tank and no one greeted me, then I realized nothing was running.

My puffer and my clown dead and I am assuming all my live rock as well (water was very cold)
