Power outage

[ricecry]

Hi, my house hasn't had power since 10 am this morning, is there anything I can do to make sure my tank stays alive?

I use an air pump connected to those cell phone power bank to oxygenate the tank. I set it to auto turn on when the power goes out.

Get a couple battery powered air pumps, and aerate your water.

Do you know how long your power will be out? It's not too hot or cold, so you should be good on temp if power is not out too long.

also in a pinch you can also grab nice big container fill with tank water and pour bank into tank - get some height in there. Agitate the water.

I like the Penn Plax Silent Air Battery pump, it has a power cord that can detect when power is cut off to turn on airpump automatically. And it is powered by a D-battery so you don't have to worry about keeping a power bank charged.

Buy an EcoFlow River 2 or 3 refurbished on ebay. These have factory warranties and work rather well. Just hook up your return pump or flow pumps (or whatever critical equipment). They come in different sizes (wattage) and can be hooked up to a solar panel(s) as well.

^^^^ I think E Bay has the best price but of course shop around.
