I bought a power inverter last fall when I heard we had a big storm coming but never had to use it . I just hooked it up to a deep cycle battery that I keep charged for a event like this . I have one pump circulating and the lights on as well . I also ran a line to our modem ahh wifi life is good :biggrin:

Thanks to all the reply and help.

I was able to get a hand on battery air pump from a friend.

At least tank is oxygenated, just have to keep eye on tempt that it doesn't drop below 70

Thanks again, maybe it's time to invest in a backup battery

Now I'm worried. 7hrs without power.. all the stores around me are closed..

to keep the heat in the tank cover or wrap tank in blankets will help slow the heat loss

I just hooked up a generator. Good to go. Tv, internet and fish tanks. Im set

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 :/

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.
