so i have been on the verge of buying a backup power supply system for some time...
Saturday 4pm and a hellava thunderstorm hits my area .... lightening hits sub station and i am left with no power .....
I hoped for the best, kept water movement going and tried to aerate the water..... i was told it would be out for a couple hours tops......
this morning my coral beauty passed away ...... .... bleak
so i took the plunge and bought a jenny ....... 2300 watt, anough to run the system and a few extra's ..........
everything else seems to be fine, rest of the inmates swimming fine and corals now back with almost full PE..... Significant water change tomorrow on the cards..
So cost of thunderstorm, 1 coral beauty and R3000 worth of generator not a happy camper.
Finally a word of thanks to midsblenny for his help over the phone!
oh and of course 3 hrs after things returned to normality in the tank, the elec came back on........ If i ever find murphy !!!!
