If the power is out till the morning. Blown transformer and I have everything shut off so no overflowing occurs.

Will my live stock be alright?
 
It is ver hard to run a reef without a generator, $300 isn't a lot if you have an extended power outage and lose everything, throw in the cost of spoiled food and just plain incoveuences , and it will pay for itself in 1 long power outage, a lot sY buy a large inverter and some Marine batteries, but your already half way to the cost of a generator, successful reeding is all about planning ahead for crises
 
You should be fine till morning. I had to fix my overflow so I shut off pumps and let the water down for 24 hours no prob
How long do your fish sit in a bag with no bubbler or anything when they first arrive at your Lfs ?
 
It depends on the size of the tank and your stock list. If its a smaller tank and heavily stocked, fish won't last as long as a larger tank not heavily stocked. I do agree getting the battery operated air pump is a good idea.
