    Power out in Wake Forest, NC where I live. Been out since 2pm. I got 2 mp40s in 110g on ecotech battery. Two mp10s and heater in 55 on inverter in my diesel SUV. They say WF got hit pretty hard with last storm (had some small tornadoes) and power might be out all night.

    Worried bout sump in 110g since return pump is not running.

    damn, hope it doesn't get that ugly....any way you can throw a power head or air pump in the sump to keep the circulation going?

    Such a simple solution, thanks. I'll move one of my MPs into sump for now.

    I freak out when the power goes out. We have to get a generator of some sort.

    Hoping that yours comes back on quickly. I don't think you can be a reefer and not freak out a little bit :)
