I thought it did too. but when the city has no power and store are not open, you start to wonder about things you here on the radio. I was with out pwoer for three days and the fish seem fine. I will have the batter back-up for the next big storm.

:notsure: I have herd about people adding hydrogen peroxide to the water when the power is out to add oxygen to the water. Is this ok do do in an emergency??

I lost power for three days becasue of charly. All I did was take a pitcher and move the water around with it about ten times, three times a day. Fish seem to be ok. Can not do a water change yet because of a boil water alert in my area. But I do not have a big fish load. Only four fish and a...

I have crushed coral and would like to know when I vac the cc do I vac the hole tank or just do half and vac the other half at the next water change.

I thought the CC helped buffer the ph. Does the sand buffer like theCC and can I change to sand with fish in the tank? And what kind of sand would I Change to. I take it that frequent CC vacuuming is recomended for CC.

It is a little giant and I have no idea how old it is. It seems to run hot. And I am not a fan of oiling the pump. I am loking at mag drive pumps.
