Power Outage

[MuralReef]

So a car hit a transformer outside of school. How long will things be okay without power? I'm running a battery operated air pump right now.

2 things to worry about, obviously aeration and heat. Last time this happened I used a dc converter and a car battery to keep tank on life support for about 4 hours.

My tank went 16 hours last winter! I just had a battery operated air pump. Lasted the entire time! At least it's warmish today. I ended up buying a harbor freight generator for 90 bucks. Not sure that would work in your situation. Good luck man! I saw the school closure on the news this am.

 

[MuralReef]

All good now. Temp got down to 69 but I'm sure everyone will be okay.

Power up and running?

 

[MuralReef]

Yeah they said 4-6 hours was more like 2 but it was off since 10 last night.

Well hope things are looking ok
