if there is ONE thing a reefer will need during a total power outage it is a battery powered air pump....i got one from Big Al's (VERY CHEAP!).....it's critical b/c you MUST get oxygen into the water column, otherwise the water will stagnate and the livestock will be in danger

of course, if you can afford one of those crappy tire portable battery things, then you are good!....just run a maxi jet, and an air pump

Kabong's drip method is viable as a source of oxygen, but i don't see it making any difference in larger tanks of say, 50gal or larger.
