We had a planned power outage over the summer, for BC hydro to move an underground vault in the neighbourhood. Power was off at like 8am to 4pm.

Didn't lose a single thing.

But I do have the Vortech battery backup.

I have a spare charged up car battery and dc/ac power inverter.. that's what I used to get the vortech and air pump going to same time.

I think it's was mostly due to lack of oxygen.

battery powered airpumps and a thick blanket....best investment over the years and years of constant power outages on Bowen. More extreme measures, a generator and a gas fireplace or even a good wood burning fireplace insert/unit.
