Thanks for all the thoughts guys
That tube has me interested, but I think I'll just stick with a couple small stones

Thanks Brad
That's pretty much what I needed to hear
So it will survive overnight, or all day while I'm at work, and I'll not think about it anymore

When feeding corals I turn off my power heads and my return pump and sometimes forget to turn them back on for 6hrs+ at a time. Temp drops about 5-6 deg and everything still completely normal. =)

If your really really worried about it than buy a generator......but I dont think its an issue.
