   I lost power during the storm the other night. Went out about 9:30pm and came back about 2am.
   How did everyone's tanks do? What is your power outage plan?
   I am glad I got that battery replaced in my ecotech battery backup. I had it going on my softy Tank. And also 2 Belkin in battery backups on my 180.
   I also have a battery operated air pumps with airstone that was on my sump and frag tank.
   I also have a gas generator for extended outages.
   I hope everyone made it through without any losses.

   Wow. You are really prepared!
   
   We seldom loose power. Had a problem last year with three 5 hour outages as the transformers in our neighborhood were all going bad. They have been replaced and we haven't had a problem since. I've got 4 battery operated air pumps with airstones that I can use in an emergency - but I know that's not much.
