Aquarium Advice Apprentice
Hi guys! I'm new here. I found this in a search for aquariums/hurricanes...
I noticed some of you live out west-my heart has been with you all through the whole thing. Well now I ask-
Without a generator-I'm in an apt-how do you deal with a tank in a power outage!!!! I was here for Irene in '99 & my power was out for 2 days!!! Fortunately I had no aquarium then! Well now I do!
The power always goes out here but never more than an hour or 2. I have a Pennplax battery back up thing that goes on when the power goes out so they'll have air, but what do I do about the filters?! Obviously I won't feed, but should I change the water everyday? More??!!
I always do 50% changes once a week. I have a Whisper 3 Aquaclear 300 & Filstar II. I'm freaked! I'm typing a mile a minute! (well as fast as I can with one hand-hey it's faster than one finger...!
Please give me input! Time is running out...
Deep breath...
Thanks guys!
