Buy a battery powered air pump or get a UPS to run one of your powerheads.

I suppose the obvious answer would be, pray! But I have short power failures and never have a problem. If more than 6 hours were realistic, as in a storm, then I would consider having 2" styrofoam pieces to close in my aquarium, direct on the glass, and at least one on top! Heat rises.

Other than this, I can think of nothing short of a portable gas heater to maintain room temperature.

If the temp in the aquarium falls, raise it again slowly. Don't try adding heated water, this tends to kill things off.

My main tank is in a room with a fireplace, so I start throwing more logs on.

Have a generator that I got for Chrismas to run the entire system.

For the size tank you have, a battery backup to run heater and battery operated air pump should get you through.
