Impact of 10 hour power outage ?

[Idech]

We lost power for 10 hours all through the night. I covered my display tank and hospital tank in thick blankets, to keep the warmth. I didn’t use a bubbler as I didn’t think it would last more than a few hours. I slept through it and it only came back at 0930 am.

The DT temp went down to 22 C (72 F, was 78 F) and the hospital tank to 20 C (68 F).

I’m not too worried about the fish in the DT but I’m wondering if pods, corals and inverts will be okay.

68F is low so also wondering if the clowns in the hospital tank will be harmed from it. It was 15C (59 F) in the house when I woke up, so not too bad. We’ve been having unusually warm temperatures these days.

Thanks !

Between the temp and ph drop there's probably going to be some losses.

Would having the bubbler on helped with the PH drop ?

Yes

Yes

Okay, I’ll know next time.

So far so good from what I can see. I have only seen 2 peppermint shrimps but they like to hide. I hope the pods are okay.

the bubbler would also provide oxygen, which is the main problem when all flow is gone

I use my bubbler every day either way, my clowns like to play in the bubbles and it keeps PH regulated
