Someone told me that you put something in the water durning a power outage. Can't remember what it was. Proxide? Something like that.

Battery powered air pump would be the best choice.

Yea I'm at the store now looking for some. How long can a canister filter be off before everything dies in it?

How big is your tank and what is the bioload?

The canister was on a fresh water which is 55 gallons with a Oscar and two silver dollars. The reef is a 46 gallon but the power is back. Was out for 2 hours so I think everything is ok. Only prob I see is that the anemone started to move far from his spot and moved near corals. He attached him self to my fuzzy mushroom rock. I used the hanging the rock upside down and putting in and out of the water trick to get him to let go and moved hi back to his old spot.
