Crappy to hear about your losses Kelly
Our power was out from 12:30 'till 5am
Tank temp dropped 2 degrees and I almost turned on the gas fireplace
I have one of the aforementioned battery operated air pumps and keep it on standby for long outages. If my QT is occupied then it's hooked up to it.
I run Vortechs and have a DIY battery backup for those. Trickle charger keeps that battery mostly topped up and the pumps kick in automatically @ 50%
Haven't been overly tempted yet to buy a genny, but I keep looking at the sale prices
