Power outtage!

[Jake_the_reefer]

So I am experiencing a power outtage, there is no reason for it to be out it's a beautiful day out. How long can my 20g reef tank (2 clowns as livestock) survive without issues how often should I stir the water for aeration

Just take a pitcher and fill with tank water dump back in 10 times like every hour. No backup battery power air?

Not yet. I'm getting tea for the outtage and am going to run to Walmart if it's going to be long

I doubt the power company turned it off for no reason multiple reasons for a power outage besides bad weather.

I bought an APC battery that runs a powerhead for 4 hours and a portable generator that i store in my garage after i had a power outtage last summer.

A number of years back, we had a power outage in San Diego that last about 12 hours at our place. Naturally, it was one of the hottest days too! I stirred the water around by hand every couple hours and everything made it without issue.

Get a Honda Eu series Generator
Find one used and use it to power everything on a tank, chiller, pumps, etc. Best investment

The Predator (Harbor Freight) and Wen (Home Depot etc.) are comparable and half the price. Money no issue, the Yamaha is cheaper than the Honda and every bit as good if not better.
