So I just got access to my flooded Quincy home after 2 days and found my 54 gallon corner tank lifeless and cold. Pulled out my bicolor dottyback ( been trying for years but not this way) also one of my two clowns, a coral banded shrimp, and spiny urchin. MIA is my other clown and a dragon wrasse. It was a very mature tank ( 12 years?) and I’m really bummed out.
But life goes on and I need advice as to what to do. I still don’t have power. I’ve got all softies in there ( mushrooms, Kenya tree, Duncan, zoas etc.) and lots of live rock. Do I break down the tank? Can it sit cold for a week and still be viable in any way? Do I need to start fresh or can I salvage water and rock? I know you guys know your stuff. How should I proceed? Thanks in advance for your help.
