Cafe de Bangkok 210 reef

The power outage and extreme flooding took its toll. The cafe de Bangkok tank in hallowell went five days without no power and flooding that got into the building. The flood water from the kennebec river brought close to 18 inches of water into the main floor of the restaurant. The brute trash can I use for mixing saltwater shows the high water mark. All is not lost though. Tuesday morning as the flood water was rising I was able to go in and rescue 7 fish and most of the corals. Unfortunately I ran out of physical space for corals and rocks and literal time. Unfortunately I had to leave behind a hundred or so green mushrooms and some other random soft corals that were attached to the largest rocks. All that said, I was able to keep the majority it the livestock alive by bringing everything home and adding it all to my basement coral pond. Today I went in, assessed the damage and got the tank up and going with the main pump, heater and skimmer running and trying to heat the 42 degree water and start cleaning up the dead coral slime.
