You are not the only person who has had a tank crash. My tank crashed during a hurricane several years ago. We lost electricity for a week and there was no back up generators to be found. I too cried about it for a while. Not too long. Pick up the pieces and keep going. My first suggestion would be to buy a backup generator to keep this from happening again. IMHO, this is money well spent. :(

It may be cheaper if you take your rock & sand out, clean it good & place them in smaller containers. Put a small pump in the containers and do water changes until your nitrates & ammonia are down to 0.

I'm very sorry to hear of the loss. :(

What is dead and what is presently alive?
