Mmmm our battery backup is down to 30% might not last the night just running 1 little 3w powerhead..... its depleating the power much faster then we thought.
And im stuck on the island....
And the battery airpump wont do a whole lot for a 65gallon....
I feel terrible telling my family to give the airpump to the salt tank overnight potentially condeming my goldfish to death should have bought another pump when i wanted too in july.... #/@^$& uggh.

This is getting ridiculous. People across the street from me have power and I'm sitting here blowing bubbles in my tank with a turkey baster! I'm starting to worry :/

Apparently 200,000 people in Metro Vancouver were without power at its worst today.

Default Power Pack

We use this as a backup. Originally got it for camping but it's perfect to plug in the aquarium when the power goes out.
