Power is out. Can I be useful?

[Randrew215]

I think I lost power around 2:30, so this would be going on over 5 hours. At what point to I start to worry about oxygenation and can I do anything about it?

Call around to sporting goods stores for a battery operated bubbler.

The fish should be alright for at least 12 hours, especially since its warm, so the tank shouldn't cool as fast. SPS may get stressed after only a couple hours of no circulation, O2, and heat.

Thank you for the help. Power is back on and tank looks okay. Temp hit 76, which isn't terrible.

Walmart sells battery operated bubblers for about $15 in their fishing section. I keep a couple on hand here for backups.

Backup generators are great here in upstate new york.. I don't even know when the power goes off unless I look over at the neighbors and their in the dark... lol. Best investment I ever made..
