And i guess you could use a spatula to keep water moving? or blowing through a tube every once and awhile

$40 from Home Depot for the inverter, 400watt unit, should be enough to power the vortech and a small heater for awhile

That's what I'm doing right now:)

Thank you for the suggestion.would wal-mart have that?

What blowing through a hose or using a spatula? Lol Good times hopefully everything turns out ok:)

Do you have friends or family you could call and ask them to pick it up for you? just don't tell them its for the fish tank because people without fish tanks don't understand fish tank if you get what I'm saying.

wrap some blankets around the tank. Will do good for a while.

Your neighbor has power?! I'll go knock on their door for you... I've been thinking for 1/2hr how to help, all I can think of is my fj cruiser has a 110v plug in the back but I need it for work at 6 am.
Walmart cap mall is open and most likely has an inverter
I can lend you a large freshly charged marine battery if you need one, I'll pm you my number

Good news.a major crisis has been averted.i went to walmart and got a 10 metre extension cord and asked my neighbour if I could bum some electricity,and she said yes......I thank you all for your assistance,truly appreciate it.

Yes,the entire building has power except my suite:( BC hydro is coming first light tomorrow to fix the problem(s) thanks guys

I was doing both for a bit then I got tired lol my other neighbour offered to drive me to walmart which I accepted.it was really nice of him to do that.he wouldn't even accept gas money.
