I use inverter connect to car, quieter. Buy one for tank use only, in after hours for generator. 8pm on?

In all seriousness, if you can spare the bucks, run down to Walmart and get the largest deep cycle battery you can afford and an AC/DC inverter. You could run a pump and skimmer with this system over night during the quiet hours and recharge the battery when the generator is running. Also, a makeshift cover over the tops of the tank and sump would help slow evaporation and slow temperature loss.
I just wanted to share what just happen to me now. Due to the CA wild fire PG&E turned off our power as 3:30pm today. My back up generator is on rightaway until I got a police visit at around 8pm. Asked me to turn my power generator off. Reason was it's too loud which I understood. However, when he laughed at me when he found out that I was using it to keep a fish tank running. I was upset. With not choice, I now will have to watch my tank slowly crush...…....
bummer about the fire and outage, Call the municipality in your area and find out about the noise ordinance. In my arealife support and try to figure out a way to quiet it down.
Came here to say this! Will be much more quiet. Power inverter and extension cord.A 12 V power inverter connected to ur car battery will give u enough power to run ur pacemakers and maybe skimmer on and return pump on and off. Just turn on the car fir few minutes every couple hours to recharge car battery.
Unfortunately, fish are excluded from most US laws that protect animals.Animal cruelty is a crime and was just passed at the federal level in addition to state levels already. Condemning fish to die so your neighbors can sleep is truly sick.
I know farmed fish are but pet fish as well? Given the awful fish supply chain that supports animal cruelty you're probably right. Very sad.Unfortunately, fish are excluded from most US laws that protect animals.
