Hey Everyone, I'm in Orlando and Hurricane Ian is a few hours away from me. I've got everything prepared for my family but now I'm worried about my tank. I know I should have gotten a battery backup system, but I failed on that (I'll definitely have one going forward).
Already 400k without power in Florida so I'm wondering what can I do manually to keep my fish alive if I lose power? Do things like stirring the water up or filling a pitcher with tank water and pouring back into the tank help with oxygen?
I did manage to get a small battery backup unit from Costco about an hour ago but I'm not sure how much that will help. Here is the link to what I got. https://www.costco.com/cyberpower-1...-with-surge-protection.product.100845557.html
I have two Mp10 wave makers and an Octopos return pump. Live stock is 4 Tangs and a Clownfish. I have coral but that's not my main concern.
I tagged this as Emergency cause I have power now so anything I can do while the lights are on, I need to do right away.
I have 10 Gallons of saltwater stored and about 20 Gallons of RODI on hand. My tank is the Redsea 250.
Any help at all would be greatly appreciated? Also does anyone know how long my fish family can live without power? I Google and I see anywhere from two to five hours. Thanks
