Power Loss any one???

But how big of a tank will a battery powered air pump help? I'm sure it will work wonders for a 20 gallon or a cube. But what about a 150G?

If you switch the air stone to a fine one, it's pretty powerful. I think 2 should be enough. I run my regular 2-valves air pump for about 60g of water with quite a bit of fish, never see a sign of deficiency. However, I never measure the battery operated ones.

Discard all macro to stop their respiration.

My power went out at 4pm.
How long will 2 brand new D batteries last for in my air pump?

may be a day or more

Roslyn Long Island here. Power went down 2pm. My Triton3 return pump blew from all the stop and go power. There goes 75 bucks. Hopefully the livestock makes it

That's what you call "adding insult to injury" I hope your livestock makes it.... Good luck

I realized I could hook up my powerhead to my power pack. The one I have just in case my car battery is dead to jump start it. Now I'm just worried the temperature of the tank will go too low.

Thanks for the tip. Currently running the powerhead for 30min then air pump for 2 hours the powerhead again. Inverter can't handle the heater though. Damn

Pratt reefs are alive and well. We never lost power. Good luck everyone. If there is anyone in need of battery air pumps that can get to Pratt, I have about 6 with fresh batteries that I can loan out.

Yo dubs got really Lucky twice last night a tree got uprooted and rip of all the power line to rest of my block one more pole over and my tank would have been finished and that same tree was coming for my car which was park across from it it got stuck on the next tree next to it if not dubs would have been really piss right now

out for 17 hrs at flushing

 

[reefs4life]

Been out for 17hrs here in New Rochelle, running a 400w inverter from my car to keep tank running. My neighbor across the street works for ConEd and he said we won't be back for at least a week which I hope is completely innacurate because my car can't keep it up for that long nor can I turning it on every 2hrs during the night. Really wish I had a generator
