Just came home after away and tank 62 degrees

Wow, bad day. Our power must of went out in chicago and got back to hear my wife scream in tank room and apparently power went out and tripped GFCI when it went and soooo. Whole tank dead except clown.. All other fish dead, temp 64 degrees within tank. Coral seem to have survived. I am so sad. Had some of these fish for 2 years. Bad day!!!!
Heating the ice box up now

Thanks Guys, My coral seems to have come thru unscathed unless I will see the damage in coming days. I sure hope not. Man daughter is crushed about the flame angel.
