    That stinks! I think they'll be fine. Corals are what you have to worry about. What's the temp?

    They are more prone to getting hurt from this. The fish are hardier than the corals. If you add a bubbler to it, everything should be fine. Just make sure the heat is okay.

    I don't think most people do worry about the corals actually, it is the fish you need to worry about because they will use up your oxygen. There isn't a whole lot you can do about the temp as far as I know, except get a generator and plug in a heater.

    How long can my fish go without the oxygen?

    They will have oxygen, but you don't have water movement, so gas exchange isn't happening fast enough probably to keep them from getting stressed. Mine have gone probably 6 - 8 hours without the use of the battery air pump in there while I was out looking for one to buy.

    Id make the bubble the #1 priority. Then heater.

    And if you can, just make sure you have the heater running an then blow a fan across the water to keep it moving.
