Go out buy a generator just a small one do a little research first though some generators kill powerheads for some reason. If you don't have a car get a taxi paying 50$ for a tai is better then loosing 2k worth of corals

Do you have friends or family you could call and ask them to pick it up for you? just don't tell them its for the fish tank because people without fish tanks don't understand fish tank if you get what I'm saying.

$40 from Home Depot for the inverter, 400watt unit, should be enough to power the vortech and a small heater for awhile
