I doubt you will have any serious problems. 4-6 hours is not very long. Ive had tanks loose power for almost 36 hours with no problems.

I wouldn't worry either about 4-6 hours. I would however be concerned about why my GFCI tripped. Check for water getting in your outlet.

If you are really concerned add some fresh activated carbon. 4-6 hours is nothing to fret over though.

You need to be more clear. Your sentences are running together so much I dont know what happened.

If you had a healthy tank, 4-6 hour power outage should not hurt it any. I had a power outage last year (January) for about 30 hours. I lost my lemon peel from it (I think the tank got too cold-it got down into the 50's). Not from pollutants. My other 3 fish made it and are still going strong.

If you are somewhat concerned, maybe do a 10-15% water change.
