    Wish me luck :) we have a schedule power outage for tomorrow 8-5, i've got 4 battery opperated air pumps already in place on the 46 and one on the 20. Thankfully i wont have to worry about heating the tank :) This is my first major power outage, ive had a couple 2 hour power outages but nothing like this.

    Hopefully everything makes it :D

    lol the only reason why im prepared was because i got a notice last week about the power outage so that night i immediatly went online and bought some from marine depot, i hope my batteries last long enough, if not hopefully the parents will keep an eye on them since ill be at work and go out and get some more for me.

    It's hot, even with the june gloom that we've been having its been overcast and still is around 70/80
    lol correct! :D
