Blackout Woes!!!

[michaelstern]

I thought I made it through the great blackout unscathed, but I may have jumped to conclusions. Neither my seahorse nor my volitan lion (don't worry, 2 different tanks) have resumed eating since the blackout. Our power was down 24 hours. Any suggestions?

I lost my seahorse this morning.

Make sure you buy a generator if you live in a part of the country prone to storms and black-outs and, of course, even if you don't. Irenicus, what is your avatar picture of? FOr some reason, I always think of the Rock in The Scorpion King when I see it.

Sorry about your loss and your tank situation.
I found a DIY battery back up sytem using a deep cycle battery a 300 watt power inverter and a trickle charger. a very compact unit that fits under your tank and comes on automatically when the power goes out. I'm looking into building it now.
