Hello everybody, my complex in Placentia is having a scheduled power outage tommorow night for 5 hours and I was wondering if my tank would be ok if I got a couple of battery powered air pumps and put them in there and if I sloshed the water around for 5 mins every 45 mins or so

Depending on what your livestock are in the tank, the answer will be vary. 5 hours is not that long since you have a couple of battery powered air pumps; therefore, your fishes would be just fine. As for your corals (if you have any), SPS will be affected the most might since there will be a temp swing. Since it will be at night, 55 -65 F is low, so make sure you keep your water temp stable. I would close all doors and windows to prevent cool air coming in to the room where the tank is located.
