And of course I don’t have any bubblers or anything for the tank

Cup is all you need. Just scoop water and dump every few minutes. You can also stir with you hand every few minutes as well.

Hope it doesn’t stay off for long though.

I got 3 bubblers rated for 3g each. $5 a piece and they run 20 hours on 2AA batteries. These are what Ive used in the past

Update. Been almost an hour and a half with no power. Fish are looking good. Truck is down the street so hopefully will be back soon. I’m missing my classes right now though. Time to instate a hurricane plan for this tank though

Agree with this also. Just keep the water moving often.

I often wondered how long a small 12 volt bilge pump would run on a marine battery. Hook it up on a relay to activate when the power goes off. Decades ago, I used a 12 volt bilge pump and transformer for my ATO pump. Worked fine.

360gph Bilge pump on a 300cca lawnmower battery lasts 13-14 hours before the battery is dead lol. That’s what I use to keep things alive in a yeti cooler I modified with a spray bar. I use it to bring critters back from my trips to Stuart FL. Really need to wire up a plug for it in the suv lol. Cooler sits on a hitch carrier now and so does battery lol.

She’s the most active one usually. It’s a 90g cube standard dimensions build my Miracles.

Just got power back! Time to plan for the hurricanes. During Irma I had no power for 16 days and just bubblers in a 10g. Ran out of ro water and only lost 1 sps
