Go out buy a generator just a small one do a little research first though some generators kill powerheads for some reason. If you don't have a car get a taxi paying 50$ for a tai is better then loosing 2k worth of corals

Do you have natural gas? If so can always turn up the heat in your house.

Or attach your hose to your sink and turn the hot water on and put your hose in your tank and let it run though your tank and the external temperature of the hose will warm up water depending on the size of your tank. But then again i don't know how your hot water works so you may not have that either
