cornelius85 Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I just learned, that there will be a 7 hour planned power outage in my area in two days. Never been in this situtaion. I would appreciate any tips to get this through without a problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveO Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 I personally would do nothing. But you could increase aeration before hand to bump up oxygenation levels and skip feeding the day before and the day of the outage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xXInkedPhoenixX Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 (edited) I agree with @DaveO, it shouldn't be an issue- but it is something to think about isn't it? I live in an old neighborhood and power can go out easily. When I built my tanks I'm a worst case scenario kind of planner so all my tanks run 2 filters one of which is a sponge run by a lithum battery backed pump (had them before ACO had their version). Power goes out, that sponge keeps going. I also have several small power banks just in case I need to keep one going and I have a regular battery powered portable air bubbler.

Tihshho Posted May 7, 2022 Share Posted May 7, 2022 Agreed with both above statements if for a fact you know it's not going to be more than 7 hours. As nothing goes plan A, I always like to make sure to have a backup plan, in this case it would be backup batteries with an air pump. Depending on how many tanks a larger phone charger USB battery pack should be enough, but if you have more or a room a UPS might be more ideal.
