Sorry to here of your misfortune. I hope all works out for you. Having local support from other REEFERS in the area (Marie & Lance) is important.
A couple of years ago when we had that major wind storm that took out all those trees in Stanley Park, a number of the local REEF NETWORK members goto together and discussed Disaster Planning. Many of us partnered off with 1 or 2 others who lived close together, who could support each other and share thew plan. There were a number of different plans discussed as the size of the systems required different plans. My system being 525G required me to buy a generator capable of running my Amp Master main pump and 2 X 250W heaters. I set it up in September and test it for about 2 hours and then leave it in the ready mode hopping never to use it. Your Generator should run your main circulation pump and at least a couple of heaters to be of any use. A DISASTER PLAN is only good if you actually test it and it works. We have so much invested in our systems that running without a well tested DISASTER PLAN is very risky. In a jam my Toyota Tacoma has a 400W inverter included in the box that I could use with the truck idling and an extension cord to the main circulation pump. Another good pump to use is a Tunze as they move a lot of water with very little wattage. Tom R Last edited by Tom R; 11-20-2009 at 05:29 PM.
