54 hours without power = 100% fish mortality

Its really sad it hear about loses..

I am really surprised people are still unprepared. We have been discussing this for a good three weeks. Everyone really should have atleast a battery powered airstone. Cheap and easy and could very well save your tank. I suggest to anyone who reads this that does not have any sort of backup when power goes out to go and get the battery operated airstone. It will save you a huge headache.
