Hope all east coasters are faring as well as can be expected. Our lovely state of NJ will be a mess for a very long time. I'm in northwest NJ, rural area close to the Pennsylvania Border along the Delaware River.
It's been 38 hours now, no power and we don't have a generator. The minute the power went out I wrapped the tanks with several layers of thick blankets, hooked up the battery operated air gadgets. Without a whole lot of prodding around , it looks like the tanks might be staying around 70, which while a far cry from the 84F I keep them at, is liveable for the fish for the short-term. But the outside air temps are supposed to fall into the 3o's tonight. I'm trying to remain optimistic about the discus and plecos. My plants will more than likely all be dead in the dark but they are easy to replace. At what point do you give up on them?
