I just browsed around other forums in the tornado hitting area and realized one very important, yet inexpensive safety measure for our tanks.
It's the air pump.
Tanks of many people in troubled area who lost power for days get thru with only battery operated air pumps.
I found this to be a very inexpensive but improtant investment during lost of power or just to get by the hot days. If all else failed to lower your tank from a dangerous HOT situation, consider turning off the heating generating pumps, powerheads for a day and let the air pumps keep the system aerated.
These pumps are less then $15 in general, so one for the DT and the other for the sump cost only $30! Of course, larger system may need more.
