Just saw this on the news, I used to think power outages were cool. And they had to show aftermath footage from the 2006 storm that ravaged Stanley park, hopefully it isn't that bad

Good luck fellow Vancouver reefers!

No battery back-up here, just a space blanket, eek

We lost power last night for 10-15 min. So far so good. I have a tiny 1500W generator that should run my main pump and 1 heater so I should be ok....

I filled a bunch buckets with tapwater thinking that we would get a monsoon-style rainstorm and the water supply reservoirs would get a bunch of sediment. (I use tapwater!). But there was no rain; just wind. Let's hope it stays that way....

This is yet another reason to spring for a RODI unit....
