power out again!

You seriously need to invest in a generator or UPS battery back up system.

I have a back up, but it runs the main system not the QT system or the ttm system, just bad luck that the power outs happen when I'm doing QT or ttm :/

Ya maple ridge keeps getting hit hard. Last night my power stayed on but my roof didn't! got a crew up there fixing it now.

Hang in there, going through outbreaks sucks but it happens to us all. I lost all my livestock last year to a velvet outbreak. I let the system go fallow for 2 months and fired it back up and now I have a tank full of happy fish. Going through the re build was the worst ever.

I think its all Murphy's fault, of course the power out would happen the same day I picked up my tang at JL.

Go hit up Costco champion generator like 4000watts for $300 and last I heard use Honda motors.
Run a lot of stuff on 4000 watts. Gotta keep the fridge n freezers cold

Install a better muffler? Aftermarket?

My Toyota Tacoma came with a 400w inverter.

All I do is open the garage door.
Start up the pick up and let it idol.
Run an extension cord to a power bar near the tank.
Plug in my low wattage AMP Master circulation pump
Plug in a Tunze water pump to each tank

Run it for approx 15 minutes every 3 to 4 hours and you should be fine.
