Heavy weather

IMG_0146.jpgHere's how I'm planning on handling a potential power outage due to storms tonight. 1000 watt Generator (two stroke) is on the way but not soon enough. In the mean time West Marine has a bait tank areator powered by a 12 volt battery. It has a 12" wand that sprays the tank surface water much like an Eheim. You can place it in a cooler to retain the heat or in the tank directly.

Interesting idea. We bay area folks forget what it's like to have a legit storm now and again lol

Good to know in case of an outage for those that don't have an generator.

That's pretty cool. Did it work or need to use it ??

Are there battery powered heaters ?

Here's another option for providing air via a battery backup air pump.. great idea!

I've ordered two as it has a dual air supply built into the pump. As to heating the water, boil some water then place in a sealed water bottle and place in the tank. Would work in a pinch.

I snagged a couple of these at walmart for under 10 bucks:

I also have a generator if things get bad, but these are easy to use before filling the gen up with gas and taking outside and running cords.

Yes.. that was plan A. I was able to feed two (2) tanks with a regulator valve.
