Wow. The batteries only last 4-5 hours?? I plan on getting a pump for every tank. Being broke all the time sucks!!!!!
The power came back on and I didn't lose anyone!! I'm going to do water changes all around today.
The main things I was worried about was lack of oxygen, and the ammonia since the tanks are dirty. I kept my dogs and my parrots in the cool basement with me. The hermit crabs, crayfish, snails, and fish stayed where they were. Even I have limits! Thank God I don't have fires to contend with like in CO. I don't even want to think about what those people and pets are going through.
