    Hey Guys and Gals,

    I just wanted to know if my power goes out in my home and my aquarium pumps aren't functioning because of it, how long do I have until things in my sand and live rock start dying off?

    Is there like a buffer that I have until I restore power?

    I dont see a problem as long as you have an air pump going. Very important!!! I know. A couple of yrs back when hurricane Katrina and wilma hit us, I didnt have power for about a week and a half and all I had was 3 portable air pumps running 24/7. Nothing died, thank god!
