Heater,mp10. No filtration. Will it be ok?

[james1990]

I have power via generator. But my return pump blew from the power going out.

I have my mp10 running and my heater. My lights are also on.

I'm worried about getting o2 into the water. Will the mp10 do this?

You'll be alright with the heater and mp10 running.

If you can move the powerhead higher in teh tank to make sure that it disturbs the surface.....

 

[james1990]

I moved the pump higher to agitate the surface as well as adding a small pump that is creating a small amount of micro bubbles. This seemed like the best idea?

It's safe to say the power will be out for more than a day or two. Tomorrow should I run the lights?

Also, should I do some sort of water change to remove waste?

I've been having my return pump get kinda glitchy with some of the power surges. I've had to unplug it, let it set for an hour, plug it back in, then reset the power strip. It works again. Happened a few times. Not sure which step in that procedure is doing the trick, but it's doing it. GL.

Don't worry about lighting the tank, it can go at least 3-4 days without light.

What Nanoreefer said. The MP10 should do you fine.
