    I just got home from work to be met by a very sad sight.
    During the day I had a power failure and lost one of My Black Angels.

    Damn sorry to hear.

    Might sound stupid but why ? Temp flux , O2 ?. The reason for asking is I have sat through a 14 hr power out on my 1000 L marine system without really ill effects. Just had a battery air pump running

    Norgs sorry for your loss dude ...them black angels are awesome...hopefully the bigger tank will miantain temp and oxygen levels for longer than your small one...my lfs sells a pump that plugs into the wall and as soon as the mains feed to it fails the battery back up kicks in...might be worth looking into..anyway strongs and hope you have fun tryin to find another beaut to fill your blacks spot...

    It is proven that Black angels are more prone to ill effects than the average... sorry for your loss, buit do not feel guilty..... Mishaps are part of keeplng fish.

    I feel for you Norgs. Non-Fish people simply don't understand how attached we get to our fish. They don't see fish as having personalities.
