dmatt56 June 30, 2012 Share June 30, 2012 Does anyone have a generator or car battery inverter that I can borrow??? The power has been out since 1130 last night. I have the return pumps going, but the temp dropped to 74.5. Help, please!!! Thanks! Matt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
overklok June 30, 2012 Share June 30, 2012 That temperature is fine, if you have circulation. I would not worry about it. I would like to run at 74. There is more oxygen in lower temp water. You are okay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldReefer June 30, 2012 Share June 30, 2012 How are you keeping it so cool? I am fighting to keep my temps down. It is 84 in my tank room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmatt56 June 30, 2012 Author Share June 30, 2012 My tank is in my basement (partially below ground). It's my only salvation. Let's hope the power comes back for everyone's sake!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jan July 1, 2012 Share July 1, 2012 You're fine at that temp. You can go as low as 72. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ne0eN July 1, 2012 Share July 1, 2012 You're fine at that temp. You can go as low as 72. I've got a 400W inverter if anyone needs to borrow it. My power came back up around 6am. (lucky me) --Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BowieReefer84 July 1, 2012 Share July 1, 2012 Matt, hows it going? Hope you get power back soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smallreef July 1, 2012 Share July 1, 2012 And as I did and have done in a winter outtage... you can always wrap the tank in bath towels.... beach towels are easier if you have them.... just make sure the lights are unplugged incase the power comes back on ..

dmatt56 July 1, 2012 Author Share July 1, 2012 I lucked out!!! My sister in law found me a small Honda generator last night. I've been running it since 10 pm last night. Everything looks fine. I lucked out - this time at least. Still no power in Odenton.... Best of luck to everyone else out there!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
