Power outage at the worst time!

[skiergd011013]

Our power went out this morning around 6am for an hour. My tanks gfi popping woke me up. It couldnt have happened at a worse time, temp outside is negative 9. All i could do was cover the tank with blankets. So glad that didnt turn into a disaster.

Good luck. No generator?

Good thing it was only for an hour. Been very worried about that myself as it has been -20 here last couple nights.

no generator. In the past, i had a power inverter, and car battery i kept charged, and i could run one pump, or maybe the heater for a little bit. Right now, i have nothing. Our power almost never goes out, and when it does, it comes back fast. Luckily it did today.

it is scary. I wouldnt mind so much if it was summer. Its a lot easier keeping it cool, than warm. I threw two blankets over my tank, and the temperature only dropped maybe 1 degree.

im not sure. Its one of those plug in the wall ones. It must be how it operates.
