    Lost power last night at seven using one of these pumps now it's almost ten here it's 14 hours now. The fish are moving around in the tank like they normally do. These pumps are a must have. This is the forth time I have used this . If I don't get a generator soon I'm getting another of these as a back up

    this spring the power was out at my house for 25 hours. we were on vacation 1000 miles away. Thanksfully a buddy came buy and hooked my battery air pump up along with a Kkoralia on a UPS. Saved me close to $800 worth of fish.

    I have a generator now but dont have my supply system for feeding it into the house. I need to go ahead and order those darn plugs...
