Tomorrow Tacoma power is going to be shutting down power in my area for about 6 hrs. I sure hope my tank makes it through this..
 
Live in the Bahamas and that will become the "norm" lol. Hope your livestocks makes out alright. At least you have a warning ahead of time to prepare. :)

If you do not have a backup generator I would at least purchase a battery opperated air pump (found at most sporting goods in Fishing Tackle dept) Six hours is a long time without water circulation. Plus beats standing there with your hand in tank all day swooshing the water around :hand:

Cheers, Todd
 
Aother nice yet not costly backup is a car battery Backup, for $99 i purchased one that can be recharged in a hout from your car and runs a heater and pump for a few hours...
 
its going to be warm tomm. just do some manual water movement every 2 hrs it will me fine.
 
I shut the system down and closed all of the ball valves put the battery operated air pump in and everything was fine. System wa down for almost nine hours.
 
That's great to hear that all went well. Seems like a nice reminder for all of us with up and coming went and possible outages. Take careDarryl
