Aquariums & Hurricanes: Bacteria, Disease, Oxygen

Hi All,
October, 2012’s Hurricane Sandy wrecked havoc on fish keepers and public aquariums in the Northeastern USA. My own collection, which houses several 20-30 year-old catfishes, loaches and aquatic amphibians, suffered only a single loss. I owe a debt of gratitude to the dedicated folks at That Fish Place-That Pet Place, who shipped much-needed supplies to me in record time, despite the disastrous weather. The public aquariums for which I consult are now working frantically to limit losses; I’ll provide updates via Twitter.
Most aquarists know what steps to take during power outages, so today I’d like to focus on several points that, in my experience, are sometimes over-looked. Read article here: http://bitly.com/S5rU9e
