Nope... Been an hour. I've been taking a cup and filling and pouring about 2 min each tank every 10 mins or so. Oh wait a minute... Whew powers back!!!

The best you can do is what deadrock said. For the future, invest 20-30 bucks and get two Pentex B11 (battery opperated) pumps. Make sure they're the ones you leave plugged in and only turn on when the power is out. I invested in a whole house generator, not just for the tank, but that was a primary concern as we have had power outages for 4-5 hrs. Good luck.

Well... I guess I'll be revisiting my battery back up with the rebuild... It just beeped at me the whole time the power was out (I had it setup to run a single koralia and a heater In the DT) good thing I was home!! Thanks all for the help! I think I escaped unscathed!!

Good Call on that....I have a couple $6 battery powered air pumps but if they dont plug into the wall then I'm screwed if the power goes out while I'm not home....Guess its time to invest in a couple of these. I too have ran out and bought a whole house generator on 2 different occasions but power came back on shortly after thus...I returned the $600 investment 2X lol. I do want to get one for piece of mind but these $40 worth of pumps will have to do.
