Are you prepared for a fish tank emergency?

I have a spare heater.
I have a spare return pump.
I have spare power heads.
I have plenty of containers, buckets, couple spare tanks.
I have plenty of salt, carbon, testing stuff.
I have a spare small skimmer.
I have duct tape and aluminum tape....not sure which one I used when I cracked my tank.
I have a generator and a battery powered bubbler.

I don't have spare lights, but my leds and T5s are separate systems so if one goes out I can turn the other one up.
 
Curious what all you experienced reefers keep on hand for a fish tank emergency.

Examples: Heater goes out, tank springs a leak, etc.

Some things I have thought of that would be handy:

1. Clean/unused rubbermade tote to store fish in if something goes wrong.
2. Spare Heater
3. Spare circulation pump/ battery air pump
4. Mixed salt water on hand at all times.
5. Some sort of leak/patch to seal a leaking tank
6. Fish disease medications?

What's in your fish tank "emergency kit."

Unfortunately I am.

Because I lost all but 1 fish to velvet and had to setup multiple tanks for QT little over a year ago.

But I have al 6 of your list and then some. I have a generator also, but I don't have a surge thing for it, so I have some cheap power heads I will use in the event that is needed.

I also have 2 tanks with a 3rd one I'm doing a rebuild on in case of extreme emergency. That will only save fish for the most part though.
