Power outage tomorrow!
 
Wish me luck! I have a computer UPS backup battery that has a heater and a hydor koralia plugged into it ready for when the lights go out.

The UPS says it should last 668 minutes with these 2 items and the power may be out for 8 hours between 830am and 430pm.

Is there anything else I'm missing?

Should be fine. weather is warmer now too. I always have good luck with the battery operated air pumps. Jls has them for under 20 bucks, they take "D" battery and run all day.

if you have a gas stove or gas hot water tank, you can fill glass bottles with hot water and submerge them in your tank,(assuming you're around ).

I'd run it sporadically.... 20 on 20 off and don't let the temp drop more than 2 degrees... Until your battery dies
