So how long is everyone planning to be without power?

Hopefully, not long at all! But, I've got battery powered air pumps and lots of batteries.

Thanks jake. So that takes care of the oxygen problem. Now what can i do about the no flow situation? Radio shack carries something called a battery back-up?

Just bought black decker 12 volt car jumper electromate from home depot for 99. It will hook up return pump and heater (????)

I also have power invter 200w from pep boy

It will use only return pump that will moving water around.

My return pump only uses 8w it's hydor 1200

Can't order back up battery for mp10 it's too late for me but pricy $ 165.

I just secured a 5000 watt generator.....arriving tomorrow via a family member who was out of state and found one at a Home Depot.

 

[username in use]

My main plan is to run an extension cord from East Hampton to Atlantis Marine World, Im sorry Long Island Aquarium. I hear they have a little generator that may have a spare outlet.

 

[Monkeyfish]

Nice score Chris.

Josh - I think we should just camp out at Atlantis. Plenty of food, things to do...

Aquarium Design Network has about 80 of the battery pumps. There also getting batteries for them tomorrow at 12.
