Power Outage

[Bartman]

The power was out here last night, while I was at work, for about 14 hours. Animals don't look too happy. Tank is only back up to 72F, I don't know how cold it got.

Anyone else affected?

My power was out for maybe 15 mins.. Not long enough to really affect anything.. I hope it all turns out for you.

I was out for 3 hours.

I have a power inverter for my car (to run my laptop) I am now thinking to buy a spare car battery to power my tank when the power fails.

All my softies look like shrivelled, dry versions of themselves at the moment. Water is finally the right temp (81F).

well it looks like its my turn for the power outage.... hey golden69_ca, are you afected by tonights power outage? my tank so far seems fine the fish seem to like the candel light

Yep my 's went out too!

For about 5hrs, so once I arrived home the tank had dropped by 2 degrees, so I threw in an airstone with a battery backup and also placed a quilt over the entire tank to help insulate it a alittle.

Everything seems ok now, the temps back up and all fish and coral seem to be A-O-K.

This failure did teach me a lesson though, not only did I not have batteries for my flashlight but also for my backup airpump too-which meant I made a mad dash to the local corner store along with everyone else in my city block
