Ok I live in SE Louisiana I evacuated cause of katrina I came back to my dorm yesterday nothing happened but blown down trees but my fish tank which was a 10 gallon nano with a red hatian anemone and a unknown white anemone I also had a blue damsel and a turbo snail in the tank I have some tonga and base rock . I left the pump and light on. The thing that happened was the electric was off for like 3 days so I guess the anemones were floating around finding a new home and the marineland 1140 went on and sucked them in and chopped em up. Well needless to say eveything is dead what should I do clean it up and try again or do I have to throw everything out? No one I know has ever had such a disaster and asked about this on this forum

i actually had a similar situation in my 55. the power went out for a couple days while i was out of town and i lost a lot of stuff. I would recommend you pull out anything which is dead/dying if you can find it, do a big (maybe 90-100%) water change and see what happens from there as far as your live rock...just start testing for ammonia/nitrite/nitrate in a couple days once things have sort of settled down
glad you made it out in time!

oK i FINALLY HAD TIME TO CLEAN OUT THE TANK i did a full water change I scrubbed the live rock down got most of the black off of it and the sand got a gold miners filterin lol Um I put everything back in today added the salt and everything and put that sucker on man can that marineland 1140 pump a 10 g or what. Hopefully the lr is still good cause theres nothing down here lfs wise that has anything. Walmart Petco and Petsmart are even empty when it comes to fish and corals. I figured yall would wanna know whats going on
