Someone has to write an article on this BEFORE June 1, the start of Hurricane season.

POWER OUTAGE ARTICLE
By me

Get a 5gl. bucket and keep it half filled with electricity in case you have a power failure.

If you run multiple tanks, make sure you have at least 1 bucket for each tank.

Ok. Here it is. Time for corrections. :dance2:

for starters you should keep a blanket handy to put over the tanks so they dont loose heat too fast... and have a car battery+adapter that would let you run the filter as long as possible, and when/if the filter stops, put any biowheels/filter cartrages in a bucket with tankwater to keep the bacteria alive, adding some ammonia (like a fishless cycle...)

I vote that someone with the ability + server space create a wiki, then anyone who would like to add, edit or whatever can do so.


not quite sure who that might be though, I don't see it happening here. :eek:

maybe there just isn't enough information available for an article to be written.. I think I had a power outage for 6 hours in one stretch since I've been keeping fish..

I didn't do a thing and everything was OK.


and no.. I'm not writing a thing.. I'm always much more of a lurker.!
