My power is out at my house. Typically we never lose power for more than a couple hours. I have a 36 gallon fowler tank. I can agitate the water easy enough, but what about temperature. All the information I can find is about pumps and that you'll be fine without the heater for a few days. It's currently 50 degrees out, with a low tonight of 39. My old house will lose temp pretty quickly. I can start a fire in the wood stove to keep the temperature from dropping too low but the room with the tank is pretty far away from the wood stove and not much heat will make it back that way.
As I said, I'm sure our power will be back in a couple hours, but I'm just wondering how low and for how long can the temperature drop before I start losing fish? I had the wife throw a blanket over the tank to help retain heat
