Extended Power Outage

[amatob4]

Our area got hit by a Tornado on Tuesday. We lost power and our estimated time of restoration isn’t until next Wednesday, 8/14. I have a generator but can’t ensure that it won’t need gas while I’m at work - and not really comfortable leaving it running for 8+ hours with no one home. I bought the little battery powered airstones, but doesn’t seem to be enough for my little guys. Any ideas or am I going to lose everything?

What size tank, what kinds of fish and corals?

You need flow, oxygen, and maybe heat. Fortunately your weather the next two days is 70, and then going up to 79-79 for a few days after that. With no power, no ac, so your house ambient will gradually increase and will be reef safe temps.

Stockpile gas while you can get it and rely on the generator
