beatle January 29, 2011 January 29, 2011 We lost power for 23 hours here. Though all the powerlines are underground, we seem to lose power more frequently and for longer periods of time than our old house. I robbed the UPS from my computer and used it to power a Koralia Evo periodically, but cold almost did the tank in. I'm in the market for a generator now...
jawfish January 30, 2011 January 30, 2011 I have two battery powered air pumps for the fish, since that seems to be the only thing that they really need. In the past, I lost a dottyback and a clown because of low O2 during a power outage. I have a UPS, but it only lasts 5 minutes with the heater, so I gave that up. I kept the tank reasonably warm (72) by throwing towels over the tank and putting on my gas fireplace. Fortunately, I just got back power two hours ago, and so far the only casualties I can find is my Xenia colony and one of my feather dusters, which dropped its head but I'm hoping it will recover.
