Been there before! Wish I had a clarion to save though, I spun a soup spoon and heated water for 12 hours one night! Goodluck, with those fish I'm surprised you don't have an auto backup.

Ive done that before... then I discovered the powered version.
Hook a kitchen mixer beater to a cordless drill. Put it on low (high replicates hurricane squalls). The fish will run from it (but double check just in case).
Pull the trigger, stir it up every few minutes. If you've got several well charged batteries, you should be able to keep it up for quite a while.
Good luck though... I pulled a couple fish tank all nighters in the past. Havent failed yet.

I recently went through the same thing down here in NC. Me and my girlfriend stood over the tank all night dipping jugs in the water and lifting as high as we could go and dumping it back into the fish tank. Then almost exactly a month later, something tripped the GFI during the day and we did not get home until very late that night, lost all but 1 fish (about9) and 13 different corals, mostly only my ORA corals died.
Glad to hear that you survived this storm, and hope you get some rest soon!

You are the man! I have a generator now, after I lost all my fish during a 6 day power outage / snowstorm. That was when I first got into the hobby... never want that to happen again.

You are amazing to keep at it all night! Wow! If it was my hubby, he would probably start modifying my blender 2 hrs in.

Phew, glad it all worked out for ya Cam!
Make sure to test it often, a fellow RC member had multiple VT batt back-ups fail on him at the same time and lost a ton of amazing stock.
