    ours was out for 24 hours this past spring. I was traveling so a friend came over after 14 hours and put a batter backup and an air pump it. saved all my fish. lost a few corals though.

    How long you think a tank be good with no air stone or anything. We had to turn the generator off at night because its to dang loud lol. We gonna put it back on at like 5 am though so it'll only be powerless for about 7 hours. Think it'll be ok?

    It will probably be fine, but if I had a generator in your position I would use it.

    I live on the second floor and my dad lives on first. The generator is huge (like a 6k Watt) and its right outside his bedroom so we hadda turn it off cuz of the excess noise lol.

    The recording from our electric co, said could be out for a week, call back if not on by Tuesday. Luckily, instead, it came back on at 2am...
