Anyone else's power go out last night? Mine was out from about 12:30am to a little after 9am. Temp of my tank was sitting at 74 this morning and everything seems to be fine.. These things do worry me though..

Everyone else's tanks doing alright?

One of my favourite acros has actually shown a bit of recession, but I think it will come around.. everything else seems to be ok though..

Has anyone found the best way to get some back up power? I'd just wanna run my heater and a couple powerheads..

hmm, i guess i was lucky - although the pump changed pitch a couple times while i was still up, i didn't lose power all night.

6 line and cleaner shrimp have been missing since the power outage.. could be coincidence..

My VCR isn't flashing 12:00 .. so I guess the power didn't go out here!

Adam, the best power back up would probably be a gas or diesel generator. [img]tongue.gif[/img] :D That should run a heater and PH ok!

I was at a boat accessory store this past weekend and saw some fairly powerful dc sump pumps. There were 500 gph all the way up to 1000gph They'd at least give decent circulation which is probably the most pressing issue. The price on these pumps were $50 to $100.
