Power is out in lots of places, mine went 15 mins ago, right in the middle of a w/c. So if you still have water in your tank consider yourself lucky, lol.

I don't. Power isn't usually out for more than a couple hours, but today, with the storm, I'm guessing it will be out longer. Heating isn't really an issue as its quite warm out still. I just manually stir the tank every 15 mins or so. I've got a battery backup, but stupid me, haven't installed it yet lol. I'm not overly concerned... yet.

A few hours shouldn't be an issue. Just manually stir once and a while. I use my turkey baster while injecting bubbles. If it were the dead of winter I would be more concerned about heat. After several hours then we are talking real problems.
A portable generator would be a solid investment for days like today. $300. The wife and I are considering a 7 kw generator powered by natural gas. $5000... but that's only because we want to watch TV, lol.

Go to home hardwear buy an inverted that plugs to your car cig lighter , run your car and extension cord to 1) return pump 2) heater 3) one power head the inverter for 400w are like 75$ I think solid choice in between buying a generator and having nothing.

Also at the very least you can get a battery air stone that takes like 2-4 AA batteries Should help with oxygen exchange which is your #1 problem as lomg as the heat stays ok
