air pumps deployed

Well power went out about 3 hours ago so I put out the battery air pumps.I have 50 gallons of new salt water ready at all times. Now im just gonna surf the net on my phone till the lights come on :\

 

Good luck! Hope things work out for you.

 

Your tank will be fine im sure, i had the power go out a couple of weeks ago after a bad storm and didn't have power for around 24 hours....i dont have air pumps or anything. occasionally i would "stir" the tank around with a piece of pvc.

On a side not i only have 3 small fish in a 40 gallon so not a heavy load.

 

that was one nasty storm last night. do you have power today?

 

Hope all is well and your power is back.

 

So far so good thanks guys. Power came back around 4am.im pretty heavy on the bioload so I don't have to long with out circulation. I have a ton of battery air pumps on hand aswell as 2 big costco boxes of d batteries to last me afew days atleast.worst case I have the water to change and I could always mix more after that.glad I read all those always be prepared threads way back when.3reef to the rescue again

 

Glad all is well!

 

glad to hear your powers back on

i have a high bio load also, recently found my tanks pump off and it had been off for 8 hours. when i looked at the fish all was well. so actually i think you have more time than you think. i was shocked all was well, but i still would not part with my battery air stone even knowing this.

 

Congrats loneracer,my well stocked 55 just survived a 4 day power outtage last week,battery pump and Prime along with manual agitation saved it all.I won't say the tank wasn't stressed,but nothing was lost.Also congrats on power back on so quick,4 days with no power in a heat wave sucks,lol.
