Hope everyone made it safely through the storms. Lost power for 28 hours - had 24 battery operated air pumps running in the tanks!

Everything's fine here. Seriously need to find a long-lasting battery backup option for the tanks. Anyone know much about Uninterruptible power supplies? Like are there any that last for hours?

I believe Richard uses marine batteries and a power inverter. The last storm he had to use a generator on his salt tank. He was out of power a week+.

See glenoweth's post in technical/tank setup if anyone has ideas to keep his fish alive. They'll have no power for 5 days or so.

UPS devices that they make for computers typically only give you 10-15 minutes, but they can be very expensive. I think a generator would be a better investment.

We were without power for 6.5 days. No damage to our home, fortunately. We used a generator and battery powered air pumps in our tanks. All of our fish survived.
