Cheap "insurance"

I like the idea of pumping air into aquarium until I discover power outage and get to generator. Power outages are among my greatest fears while traveling or being away from home for more then a day. $12.00 at Petsmart.

Just added to main tank. Am going to get another for Nano.

Penn Plax Silent Air B11 Air Pump

Life insurance for your fish- the bubbles go ON when the power goes OFF! This battery powered air pump is a must for your precious aquarium fish. The pump automatically turns on when it detects no A.C. electricity, providing your fish with life-saving aeration during a power-outage.

It is this kind of thing that adds to peace of mind when away from home. :-/

 

great pump!!;D theres nothing like having peace of mind8)

 

Plenty enough of other things to worry about...

 

Awesome pump. Smart idea.....

 

Great idea. Lot cheaper until I am able to buy a generator.

 

Great idea. Good inbetween solution until I am able to save for a generator.

 

PS: It also comes with sicicon tubing and air stone.

Big Al's $10.99

Do they make bigger pumps for bigger tanks or would one have to double or triple up on some of these????

 

I learned the hard way - get the generator. Power went off for a week last Oct because of a freak snow storm. Lost everything because temp went to
55. Needless to sayI bought a generator. Insurance didn't cover anything! And don't be fooled by "Pet Coverage" - it doesn't cover you from a loss.
