    We got a letter in the mail stating that we will have a power outage next saturday 8am-5pm. So i need to buy some air stones, i was looking at Marine Depot and they sell the Azoo Battery Air Pump and im thinking about buying a couple of those.

    Only thing is i dont know how many to buy? i was thinking 3 should be enough for my 46, ive got sps, lps, softies and a clam.

    Is this amount of flow enough or will i need more to make sure the livestock lasts throughout the day

    I would think that will be more than sufficient. Don't forget to buy extra batteries. Best of luck during the outage.
