Anyone else in the east coast?

Me and me wife posponed our trip to puerto rico to next week so we make sure everythings ok in tge house.

How do you plan on keeping the tank O2 if we get a power outage?

I have a Penn-plax B11 battery backup air stone on each tank at all times just in case. It automatically starts when the wall outlet loses power. The large size D battery's go for about 18hrs.

With a water fall ATS I would drop the screen in the sump to keep it wet if I was home.

I have several methods to keep my tanks going during power outages, although hurricanes are the last thing I need to worry about in Cali.

1. Battery operated air pump / stone
2. APC 1500 Battery Backup (keeps return pump and Vortech MP40 going for 6 hours)
3. Big Power Inverter for car and long extension cord. Allows me to run a heater in extended power outage / cold weather.
4. Generator (last resort as I live in an apartment complex and running a generator is noisy so I use that as a last resort, only needed it twice in 20 years).

I have 2 penn-plax battery pumps

I'm screwed.

Well... that is my plan right now. Maybe go out and buy a car battery and an inverter.

I have a one gallon jug.. shake the bejezus out of some tank water every few hours.

When's it due ? In the UK we ain't had a big load of wind since 87. I know that because it was on the day of my commandants inspection. 1 week of buffing and cleaning to wake up to loads of downed trees and crap everywhere.

I was wondering why i kept getting e-mails from you. Bummer man. At least you have a fancy new scrubber to look at though.

How have you been affected, now the worst is over ?

Out of power since last night. Stirring the tank every few hours, few fish dead, corals seem to be holding for now.. I expect to wake up to a tank full of whte coral skeletons
