Snappy Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I’m in downtown Salem. Been trying to sell last few corals and then 28 gallon tank, but ice storm and power out and 42° inside are killing things. Clownfish died overnight. I need help rescuing corals that also need re-homed. I’m concerned that starting my tank back up now will only spread the death around the tank. Please help. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
obrien.david.j Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Sorry to hear you're in a tight spot. If I was closer, I'd come help - but driving down today just doesn't seem the safe thing to do. Good luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jadams7 Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 I’m in south salem and if you need me to hold some stuff for a little while until your power comes back, happy to help. Shoot me a text if needed, 360-355-0676 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuncrestReef Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Do you have a gas stove? If so, you could heat some water and put it in a bottle to float in your tank as a heater substitute. Obviously time consuming to repeatedly replace the hot water, but better than nothing. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AquaKey Posted February 14, 2021 Share Posted February 14, 2021 Maybe you can borrow a car inverter from someone just to get by? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Higher Thinking Posted February 15, 2021 Share Posted February 15, 2021 A big issue asking with temp is flow. It provides oxygen and the necessary gas exchange for coral and fish. I hope you find some help 😢 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snappy Posted February 15, 2021 Author Share Posted February 15, 2021 Our power has no estimated time of arrival currently. PGE says it’s got too many outages to tell. I’ve got a son due to be born any day now and I need to be available for my wife and kids, not doctoring a reef tank during our second natural disaster in 8 months. Fire and ice. Please someone make me an offer for some super cheap corals and clear out my tank. I’ll make a good deal on the entire package, make me an offer.

jadams7 Posted February 17, 2021 Share Posted February 17, 2021 All, I picked up what he had to help him out and give it a shot at living. Most of it hasn’t survived, though I’m still holding out hope for a few of the pieces. thanks 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Snappy Posted February 20, 2021 Author Share Posted February 20, 2021 Power came on an hour ago. Tank is getting warm again and starting to stink as I will NOT be plugging it back in. I was already trying desparately to sell the tank and make room. If anyone wants the tank, NanoCube 28 gallon for sale. SALEM OREGON ALL fish and livestock gone. 200. Includes the all in one tank, custom lid, the stock tank stand, and all the filters and pumps to keep it going, even a custom UV sterilizer. Many many extras included. I want the tank gone ASAP even tonight would be best. Our power just came on for the first time in a week. I had to offload all the fish and corals to a local reef sitter if anyone wants to contact me for those. The tank is going to start to stink tonight as the house heats up so please the sooner the better, I have priced to sell. Make offer if you like. 100 more for the skimmer, which is separate. AI Prime HD light, mount and lamp shield 150, and this I am in no hurry to sell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
