Winter power outage

[Fireworm]

Hey,

I was surfing around, and found this article. As much problems as we all had last year with the power outages, I thought it could come in handy for some of you.

Nice link. Thanks. Last year during the ice storm I was fortunate enough to only lose power for about four hours. I still have a back up battery to use with a power inverter. I can get about 24 hours running the pump and heater in the tank.

Yea power outages are scary for reefers but I am prepared for the worst this year! Last year I went four days with out power and was pulling my hair out trying to keep my tank alive. I was pretty lucky and didn't lose anything after it was all said and done. I can say one thing being prepared will for sure help in a situation like that.

That power outage really sucked. I went 5 days without power. Luckily, I got a generator that keep everything going. I lost one coral when it was all said and done. It was a grapefruit size of purple Aussie Blasto Wellsi. I sure do wish I had that back. What a beautiful piece it was. Oh well...
