POWER out

[haigyfish]

Hey y’all my power just went out 55 mins ago I ran to petco and grabbed a emergency air stone. I am going to add this as soon as I get home is there anything else I can do? Temperature is remaining stable for now

Good time to buy a small battery generator

Airstone is good

Is there a report of time power will return?

Cover the tank with a couple of blankets to help retain tank temperature. IF you happen to have heat packs, tape them to the glass until power restored

10 gallon tank do I need to lower the air stone? How sufficient do y’all think this is at supplying oxygen

Should be ok unless you are way overstocked. Any water movement/agitation helps. If you get desperate get a dc to ac inverter, then you can run your power head off a 12v battery (such as the one in your car).

Sir stone is a huge help with circulation and water surface exchange
If bubbling too much, place Saran Wrap across tank

Across the water surface? Sorry for dumb question, my
Main tank is bubbling a lot

Can you clarify “bubbling “?

The air stone was creating a massive amount of bubbles

Normal- again Saran Wrap will curb the overspray
