|  Good test...."rehearsal"!
Yesterday, power started winking on and off early A.M.
Finally went down altogether.
Battery powered emergency air pumps started up and worked just as advertised.  
After 1/2 hour going by with no power, I started up generator. Frantically had to search garage and home closets for my long extension cord. Discovered I really need an extra power strip at end of extension to plug in all electrical cords from both tanks.
(Generator started up beautifully - "one-pull" start.) --- Oh, after adding some "STA-BIL" to gas tank, as was full from last year.
Of course electricity came back on just minutes after I had all up and running.  GET AND USE! "STA-BIL"
STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer should be used in any vehicle or power equipment that is used infrequently or stored for more than 60 days. Also, treat fuel in gas cans or storage tanks as soon as purchased so fuel will stay fresh. STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer ensures quick, easy starts in all 2 & 4 cycle engines. It is safe to use in all cars, trucks, SUV’s, boat motors, marine engines, tractors, motorhomes, motorcycles, ATV’s, snowmobiles, jet skis, lawnmowers, snow blowers, tillers, weed trimmers, golf carts, power washers and generators. Use in gas, gas/oil mixtures, oxygenated fuel, reformulated gas, and diesel fuel.
One ounce of STA-BIL Fuel Stabilizer will keep 2-1/2 gallons of fuel fresh for 12 months. Using twice the recommended dosage will keep fuel fresh for up to 24 months. _________ AG "125," AquaC EV 180, 30 gal sump, "SCWD", 80 lbs LR, CoralSeaLife "Moonlite" Hood, PFO 250W HQI Mini-Pendant (SPS HQI 14000k bulb)
12 Gallon NanoCube - 24w stock PC 50/50 light "...nothing good ever happens fast in a reef tank, only bad things happen fast..."

The ph is low because the probe is not in the water. And my temp sensor is not in the water either (need to topoff  ) But my temp is usually from 80-82. | |
