24 Hour Power Outage - Sharing My Lessons

[Ryan]

I make sure my generator is easy to start for 2 reasons, #1 Inlive in Alberta where -30 is common in the winter and #2 I have a family. I make sure that generator runs easy because you dont want to be messing around when its -30 outside. A decent generator will let you back feed your panel and allow you to run a couple lights in the house and your furnace at the very least. From there you could run a heater, skimmer, and return pump. So you could make sure water is moving, it is staying warm, and air is getting into the system via the skimmer.

Hopefully people read this and setup some no power redundancies for their home and aquarium.
