Hope the power comes back soon

I live in Ontario and my power was off from 4 pm on Thurs to noon on Friday. Luckily, I had 3 Hagen battery operated air pumps which I used to aerate my 3 tanks (100g total) until the power came back on.

I believe that having the tanks very lightly stocked helped a lot in the survival of my corals, fish, inverts, and clam. So far, everything looks to be alright, and I count myself very fortunate.

I did find that the pumps were cheaply made, but they saved the day, and ran for the whole time the hydro was off, with time to spare, so they were a good investment.

There is s company in the US which makes battery unit systems for aquarium hobbyists to use during a power outage. Their name is jehmco (spelling ?). Has anyone heard of them ?

I hope you reef keepers in the west never have to experience a power outage like the one we just had.

Cheers.
