29 REEF All Natural setup Survived Hurricane KATRINA AUG29th

---

Ive been running this tank for 4 years now. It survived hurricane Katrina. I stayed for the hurricane…and survived… I live in Gulfport MS. Yea my neighborhood 360 degrees around us was underwater. Thank god our house is still here and that it didnt flood. 48 hours before the storm. I went on Nasa Gov and saw that the eye of the storm was perfect. I had a feeling that we would be out of power for awhile. Didnt expect about 3 to 4 weeks no power, looters everywhere in the neighborhood, our beach is the only thing left buildings completely gone. This first picture is my tank after the storm i was running on a simple prototype solar powered generator. God and sunlight kept it alive. i slept in a burning hot house (even tho i was offered to stay at a friends house with a generator with fans…) no electricity in the room next to the tank ..every night so i can hear when the power from my generator went off if it did..plus woke up every morning at the crack of dawn to put out a solar panel. Plus i checked the the generator every day,,every three hours to check the voltage,even woke up at night ..and checked it…to make sure it was fully operational. Yep what u see is a yellow tang ..OMG too small tank . i treated that fish like gold. It ate only the best food i could get .. it survived over a year..unfortunately died due to a filter drying up..the sound killed him i know it was a heart attack cause..i sat there for 4 hours …from 4am till 8:00am to be there when that fish died…so dont think at all i neglect my animals… That tang died April 26 ,2006.. survived the worst hurricane disaster.
