Most people who own and manage a reef aquarium might not consider themselves a prepper, but they are. Here's what happens. If you care about your tank and especially your livestock, you begin to think about what if. So, you begin to prepare for the worst. I think the snowstorm in my area, and the wildfires in California should wake people up to the possibility of disruptions of basic services. I was watching the LA TV station, and they had a VOC warning on the municipal water supply. VOC's were falling out of the air polluting drinking water. Now back to your reef tank. Most who care have several things. An R/O system is a must for pure water. Backup power is also a must, also a HEPA air purifier can offset airborne VOC's from entering your tank. Several months of chemicals, and food, as any major disruption can impact the logistics here. So there you are, MR and MRS. prepper. You're all set.

I guess I'm a prepper since I always make sure my tank is prepped and ready to go when I go out of town
 
I have survival beer for me and my fish.

I have an online camera pointed at my tank that I check several times an hour when I'm out of town. Any problems and I put my beast in overdrive getting back!
