from elvisa/zim about a poweroutage:
So you have no power???
Well if i was in your situation i would seriously take action and not just sit there. I'd pop some candles around that tank and try to atleast keep it warm somehow.
Well if there's no power...........................hmm.................think for a sec elvis............ I'd pop a car battery by the tank and pop some halogens an keep that sucker warm, if the battery is low, pop it on the car, generate it up, use it again. I would never jsut let those things die, i'd try as hard as i could, i wouldn't just give up, no matter how dumb this stuff would seem.
This is just "my idea" I hope something happens soon.
Well while you are at the car battery idea, might as well pop the heater for the tank to it.
*This not only doesnt make sense but its a fire hazard, keeping candles near a tank to keep it warm?!?!!?? she/he didnt even state that its just an idea or dont even try it out, if some beginner read that and actually thought it was alright to do something then that person would have not only kill the fish it will destroy the tank and create a firehazard! If i was a beginner i would have actually believed that would work and would have burned down my house by now.
