Sorry but I will not be here today

I wanted you to know that I am not ignoring anyone here today and I am concerned about the problems here but I have had major problems here with my tanks. Our water supply is contaminated here and I missed the announcement on the television and went ahead and changed the water in all but 2 of my tanks yesterday.

To put it bluntly, I lost half of my Dwarf Loaches and some of my Yo-Yo Loaches and the bettas suffered but did not die. I am having to watch them all very closely today as they are not in good shape but I do not know what all was the contaminating substances so it is hard to know how to treat them. All I know is the town lost half its water supply when a pipe in a large water tower broke and drained it and allowed the whole system to come into contact with substances that are considered so dangerous to humans that all restaurants and drive-ins and all homes are being told not to use water until further notice without boiling for 30 minutes for washing and drinking not at all. (I still wouldn't know what killed them but my friend called me this morning and asked me if I had heard the news as she couldn't get coffee on her way to work at the drive thru) So I am doing damage control big time.
