[bsung413]

Anyone experiencing power outage??

Try phoning bchydro but they been busy and website are down. Gods know when it's coming back.

If you have a backup battery and you still have power in your area, please help me out.

Thanks a lot!!

Power is out in lots of places, mine went 15 mins ago, right in the middle of a w/c. So if you still have water in your tank consider yourself lucky, lol.

Damn.... Sorry to hear that

I was just preparing on doing a water change but the power went out first before I started.

How do you keep your tank oxygenated and heated?

[WarDog]

I don't. Power isn't usually out for more than a couple hours, but today, with the storm, I'm guessing it will be out longer. Heating isn't really an issue as its quite warm out still. I just manually stir the tank every 15 mins or so. I've got a battery backup, but stupid me, haven't installed it yet lol. I'm not overly concerned... yet.

Also, great timing for BCHydro 's Web page to be fubar.

Ya my power is out as well and I'm SOL. No back up power either. How long can a tank go without power???

Now I'm worried. 7hrs without power.. all the stores around me are closed..

to keep the heat in the tank cover or wrap tank in blankets will help slow the heat loss

I just hooked up a generator. Good to go. Tv, internet and fish tanks. Im set

Mmmm our battery backup is down to 30% might not last the night just running 1 little 3w powerhead..... its depleating the power much faster then we thought.
And im stuck on the island....
And the battery airpump wont do a whole lot for a 65gallon....
I feel terrible telling my family to give the airpump to the salt tank overnight potentially condeming my goldfish to death should have bought another pump when i wanted too in july.... #/@^$& uggh.
