the only thing i keep is ??? nothing
i have a backup battery for my powerheads.i can see the amquil if you have a qt going with fish in it.buy with lr you cant use it.as for food if the power goes out you are screwed all around.not only the fish food but your food.i have access to a generator if i need it.but i would look for a generator to run your freezer,fridge and tanks .seeing most of us have thousands in our tanks a $300 cheap generator is a cheap investment.
You aint gonna find a generator worth a darn around here for 3 bills. Might find one for a grand.
I aint worried about me... I love to camp... so it would just be an indoor camping trip for me

Yup. Never know when you might need an extra 5 gallons here and there.
It's good to have some saltwater on hand, a gallon or two, for saltwater top offs to adjust your salinity up as you need it. If you dose two part solutions, however, you would always need to adjust your salinity down.
Oh, and it's also good to have about 25% to 50% of your tank water volume worth in 5g jugs. The jugs can be used to transport saltwater to and from the lfs, or used in an emergency when your tank leaks or whatever... You never know when an extra 40g worth of 5g jugs will come in handy.
Ok, now I'm rambling again.
There wont be any 'to and from' the LFS. That is about 3 hours away round trip in a truck that gets 10MPG. Im better off getting a RO/DI unit

hell harbor freight sells them for $250.nothing you would want to use everyday but they will work in a pinch.
i buy throw away tools there all the time.in fact a $80 hammer drill i got there lasted 3 years and a $300 bosch lasted a year.
also got a cheap concrete mixer that i use all the time its 4 years old now.

I have a few tools from there and I enjoy going in there. But when it comes to the lives of my critters... I'll spend the extra to get quality. My ultimate goal is a Guardian that comes on automatically... .but they are around 5 grand

I assumed he meant empty 5g jugs so you have something to put the water in to go GET the water if you have to. I have 7 jugs in my storage shed.
