I have two large 300$ ups. im running 1 vortech and intermittently running the return and battery operated pump every 30 minutes for 1 minute.

Keeping your family and your critters in my prayers; as well as everyone on the East coast.

My temp is staying good so far, Sps tank (Can last 2-3 days without light)

In the past I would siphon water threw filter sock into a bucket and then pour it back aggressively. Seemed to do well especially while vortechs were running.

That's what I would do. The lights can be out for a week. The corals might be a little stressed. I would be more concerned about water quality.

Good luck guys. I live in Florida and the last storm we got this summer killed the power at my place for a day. I went to Walmart picked up a Power inverter for 30/40 bucks pulled one of our car batteries and ran my return pump until the power come back on.

What are you doing about temps?

 

[Reefer831]

How many battery back up supplies did you but to get enough lasting for six days… I'm just curious cause that sounds like a lot.
