Hey everyone,
Hurricane Frances is going to be a huge one. Charley only made it to cat 4 while this bad boy will still be a cat 5 when he hits the est coast of FL (where I live). So I'm noticeably worried about all sorts of things, including my fish tanks. With power outages a possibility I need some methods for oxygenating the water if I have to wait for power to be restored.
I've heard using a small amount of hydrogen peroxide a few times a day can help add oxygen to the tank. I have about 5 battery powered air pumps I use for bait buckets when I fish and transport of aquaria over large distances, so I may be able to use those for a while. But I have many large aquariums that would exhaust my meager supply of air pumps. I'm always open to suggestions or tried and true methods from past hurricane experience. She hits between Thursday and Friday so quick responses are appreciated. Thanks
