Hurricane Zeta Power Outage - What To Do With Sump?

[ruegaroo]

The power is out from the hurricane last night and I've got an air bubbler keeping oxygen in the tank. I was wondering what to do about the sump though. Since that water is not getting any movement would it be better to remove it and replace it when the power comes back on? Can that water go stagnant? I'm not really sure how long the power will be out but it could potentially be off for a few more days.

Let it circulate and then do a water change or at least water test

Probably fine for a day or 2, I'd pull any filter socks so organics don't sit there and rot.

Good idea
