I have a couple of battery packs (including one UPS) to run my main powerhead. I have a portable generator too just in case and long extension cords. Natural gas heating so not sure if my place would be that affected by the cold if Hydro shut off power. You can also pick up battery operated air pumps from King Ed's (I think they sell them). Yeah, its always a good idea to be prepared well ahead of time for power outages. I recommend you crank up the heat for a few hours before they shut off power, and then keep all the curtains closed and throw a insulated blanket over your tank to help preserve the heat. Good luck. If you need something, let me know.
