$%#^
Power strip went out on my big tank. Not a good day.
4 balas, 6 clowns, 2 silver dollars, 4 blood parrots, featherfin syno, and a krib.
Only the bristlenose and a dwarf jewel cichlid survived.Who is "General Failure" and why is he reading my hard drive?

Sorry to hear about your bad luck
If you take your time to do the research FIRST, you can successfully set-up and keep ANY type of aquarium with ease.

what killed them? Ammonia spike with filters down, temperature drop, or what?

OH My GAWD. How physically sick this has got to have made you. I am so-so sorry to see this. This is the worst I have seen since our one members nephew dumped medication in his Discus tank and killed his beautiful fish.
You have obviously had all these fish for a long time, too. I guess this should be a warning to also use an airstone. I'm so sorry. Man, I wonder how long that power was off.Cycling With Fish?•• The Fishless Cycle••

Ouch that's terrible, so sorry for the loss.
Id be curious to know this as well. When the filter went out on my Mbuna tank they where able to survive for 3 days without filtration till I got the new motor in. Hard to imagine a power failure causing that much devastation, its scary.
