Scheduled Power Outage

[wsantia1]

Out of the blue I got a notice that the power company would be shutting down the power Tuesday for 4 hours.  That stinks.   Good thing I've downsized and don't have overloaded tanks. 

I have one battery operated air pump and an inverter that I can hookup to a battery jumper for about 6 hours. That will power the sponge filters in the other tanks. This could have been a problem if I were out of town for a few days.

This type of thing just makes me wonder about the "advances" in this age of technology....

Walmart has the battery air pumps in their fishing dept.  Cost just a few dollars. Good luck,

Thanks Barb.  I'm ready for it.  I have a battery pump and some other options too. Hopefully it won't we for too long

Ok the powers out and i have everthing running via portable air pump and inverter connected to a car battery jumper. So far so good except the noise from the portable pump. Lol
