mling May 13, 2014 Share May 13, 2014 Just found out that I've lost power at home. How long can fishes go with no aeration, i.e. oxygen ? The only good news is that my tanks never get too hot in the basement, even on a hot day like today. I do have a generator but I am in DC. Wondering if I need to go home early.

Coral Hind May 13, 2014 Share May 13, 2014 It depends on tank size, corals, and fish load. I've had tanks go for 12 hours with no issues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind May 13, 2014 Share May 13, 2014 Dominion's Outage Map says it should be back on between 2-4pm. I think you'll be fine as far as livestock goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know that it should be fine for a few hours, especially when my tank don't have a heavy load. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
