I'm affraid i have suffered a MAJOR setback today as a result of Hurricane Isabel and the subsequent damage to the power lines in my area. I had purchased a battery powered pump and airpump to keep things alive in the event of a power loss durring the hurricane but i had not thought of everything

While i was at work today the local power company shot off my power briefly to fix some downed lines in my area. I was not to worried about that till i came home and noticed that the temp in my nano was a frightening 88 degrees. The A/C is on a digital thermostat that did not have a battery backup. so when the power came back on the A/C did not and the lights on the nano overheated it


When i checked my water parameters tonight the nitrites and nitrates were totally off the scale

I'm doing a total water change and hoping that it won't be tooo bad but i'm afraid i'm going to see alot of LR dieoff and most of the pods as well. any info or ideas what i should expect to see over the next few weeks, or should i just throw everything out and start over?
