Tank with no power

[DrMusik]

I live down the street (7th and flatbush) if you ever have any future problems I'd be happy to help you out.

The most immediate danger in most cases of a power outage is temperature swings.




Five hours of pumps running won't be of any use to people who lose power for 24 hours.

If you choose to run a generator in your living room, or right outside your window, then yes it could make you sick. But if this is the case, natural selection probably would have done you in long before this.



Enough to get your fish through a power outage. Assuming the outage is not longer than a day or two, and that the climate where you live is about 78 degrees, day and night. Year round.

You win

I will also recomend a battery operated air pumps. Your tank its big enough for the amount of fish in it. So your PH and Ammonia should be stable for a few days. The fish could be with out food for a few days, that's another good thing; less food less polution.

Socting oxydator.. 6% to 12% hydrogen peroxide solution with a catalyst in a jar that basicicly sits there in the tank nad keeps the 02 levels at 100% where as the average tank runs at 75% with all the windows open..:wink1:..

I figure five hours is better than carbon monoxide poisoning.

But what do I know I only have eighteen years in the emergency services.

Loss of oxygen happens MUCH faster than temperature related deaths.
