Re: [GSAS-Member] Storm Power Outages

[Linda Knapp <linda@bozuk.org>]

We just got internet back here.
I kept my two Salt water tanks alive with one of those battery Air  
pumps - I was lucky that the power was only out from midnight to  
about 7AM here  so nothing got too horribly cold although some of the  
coral was not looking too happy- Salt water seems to be the most  
sensitive to failed heaters and pumps.  I had a plan for running  
extensions cords in from an inverter off the batteries in my Van RV  
to run tank heaters if it had gone much longer.
My angel pair decided to lay eggs during it all.....

Good luck to all who still are getting back on the grid!
