After checking on all three tank inhabitants I see that a couple of frags in the frag tank are looking pretty sad. This tank is in the basement and I had no access to it with the generator. Just two battery-run air stones. Aiptasia and Majanos came through in good shape though.

If you are worried about losing heat in the winter if this happens again you could always replace the Eheim with a Quiet One. They can go toe to toe with any heater!

Yeah I own one: Quiet One 4000HH. It was so terrible I reduced it to using it for pumping freshwater to the salt reservoir. Noisy and runs hot. Not one of my favourite pumps.

My last power outage was 6+ hrs. No backups. I was just heading out to deliver our 46g to its new home. Had to cross fingers. Everything was great when I got home
