power out

sometime during the day the gfi on my 90 tripped i figure by the timers it was without power for about 7 hours wife found it w/several dead fish blue eyed mimic tang ,wrasse ,only can find 1 of 3 anthais ,royal gramma, coral beauty. so far others seem alright shrimp seem ok coral seem to be ok chiller stayed on different circuit some fish can not be found how quickly can i use new water 1st thing i did was mix 2 buckets of fresh water but how soon can i use it aerating it now but i know not a good idea to use fresh havent tested dont think its necessary .should i pick up some chemi pure i dont run any charcoal normally

 

the general rule for new saltwater is to wait 24 hours, but......i find that i dont have any issues after letting it mix for an hour or two. Especially in emergencies.

You could run some chemipure, but I think the issue with your dead or dying fish was due to oxygen in the water, now that its back on it shouldn't be an issue.

 

Only 7 hours? Man that sucks, you need an apex or something that sends a message to your phone when the power is out(provided you have a backup power supply)

 

so, with teh chiller on a different circuit, does it have its own pump? if so, was that not circulating? if it didnt have its own pump, was water moving thru it at all? if not, check it over good.

If it were me, I would start water changing as soon as you could to avoid the tank getting any worse. just so it is not extremely cloudy, swap it out asap. This qualifies as an emergency. if not, then yea wait for the water a bit.
