    Default Power Out again #2

    I got a notice they'll cut power again just a month after last PowerOut and this time is from 12/20 11pm - 12/21 7am. Last night temp dropped down in the low 40 degree and heaters work hard to keep the right temp (i know eastcoast colder than this). I'll get battery air pump out and will see how it goes in few days.

    Merry Christmas everyone,


    Tony

    Can you heat water during a power outage? If yes, then you can always add warm water if it begins to cool too much. And I think you're doing the right thing by getting batter power to power an airstone. Very important. Good luck~

    Run a long extension cable to the nearest house with power. Psst. They will be sleeping and not even notice.
