laurensdad Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 do a test unplug everything let it sit for about 15 min and plug it back in see if you have problems geting filters and stuff going. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quetzalcoatl Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 (edited) I just had this problem, they cut the power for 7 hours, and I actually lost only one fish I think it is not so bad, since all the other ones lived. However I can tell you I saw all my fish suffering and swimming at the top of the tank in need of fresh air. They were very stressed. If your fish are expensive don't hesitate and get a generator to plug your filters and air pumps.

ckmullin Posted June 1, 2012 Report Share Posted June 1, 2012 If for longer times I had one idea...since the fish of course will be 'using' to o2 in that tank water...prepare ahead of time a few gal perhaps 10 or so and then do a wc mid way during the power outage. This will at least give some fresh o2 in the tank and also stir up the water for a bit of circulation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
