Fish will live for 24 hours in a DARK room. If the tank is cloed to windows or door, cover it with something, so animals in the tank will be calmed and use less oxygen.

I don't know if anyone tries this...
I use a APC UPS power surge + battery backup that is normally used for computers, TVs, or something similar. Well, when the power goes down, it will give you extra power. Surge also protects the equipment and your home/office. Just need to make sure you purchase the right one with enough watts. Hope that helps~

I live in florida the land of hurricanes, because of this I was trying to figure out how to do for power outages. I bought 4 battery powered airstone pumps. I left one of them on to see how long they last on the batteries and 4.5 days later it is still going STRONG!!!!!!!!!!!! So I would recommend just picking up a few of those to tie you over. They create water movement and oxygenation. Generator would be better but 4x $8.00 or 1x $600 you can do the math. Hope this helps and your tanks are ok....by the way mine is a 24g nano and in a test run 2 airstones in dt was great and 4 was better.
