Power is back on. Lol..draining 4 tanks 3 gallons each hour and putting it back in for 6hrs is a chore. Fish seem to be fine. Lol...its 430 in the am and I have to be at work in 2.5 hours. Sleep

Sounds like you got it sorted. Good work on the commitment! I suspect that i would have done the same thing Smile

Thanks!

I didn't know how long they could go without the pumps being on.

I have since invested in a couple of battery powered airpumps so this won't happen again. Seems we've had increasingly more powerful thunderstorms of late.

All of the fish are fine.

those battery powered air pumps are awesome...so need to get some of them Smile

No problem!! I still owe you if you need to thin out the lineage any. I keep my word.

Subject: Re: Help Wed Aug 04, 2010 2:54 pm

Wow ...you did so much work, bugga that, those battery pumps are the GO...

Subject: Re: Help Wed Aug 04, 2010 3:02 pm

Yup...got them ready to go for the next one.

Been lucky...we've had this house for 3 years and that was the first time the power has gone out. Power company was on it immediatly and we had a new transformer by 4-5 am.

Subject: Re: Help Sat Aug 07, 2010 2:26 am

hey bwompus,

we had a power outage the other day also! was out for about 14 hours!
luckily i did not lose anything at all. i traded a friend in florida for a dozen young albino and brown bn. i sent him a dozen aspidoras and some guppies.
hopefully my calicos will spawn soon. i have 2 males and 2 females. one male has been hanging around the cave, but nothing yet. soon though i hope!
i'll keep you in mind about those bn you have.
thanks!
