snow

yeah i cant see $h!+ out my window its so crazy

 

I hope everyone gets through the storm OK. Both families and fish. As for me..........it is 77 degrees right now. just started to cool down from a high of 80. Sorry but i just had to add that. Good luck everyone.

 

TBELT: Such a tease! Oh wait, it's 70 degrees and I see a ity bity cloud. Haha, be safe ya'll. It's times like these I really do miss the snow. Sunshine gets boring every day :\

 

I live in New England and I had a long power outage from the last large storm where my power was out for about 8 hours:-X. Scared me since I had no back up power, but thankfully my water heater is gas and was still on so I could continually make hot water and float zip lock bags in there and used some turkey basters to get water movement. But seriously that is a scary notion not knowing when the power will get back on. I put a blanket over my tank and kept the lid close too and that help maintain the heat (was losing about a degree every few hours still tho). Thankfully nothing happened and now I have a gas powered generator ;D just in case. I think the battery back up systems are pretty much a joke since they usually only last for an hour or 2 tops and usually the 0-3 hour window is not when you're worried, it's the longer power outages that tend to create the serious problems.

A really quick solution is to buy an inverter for your car to run a plug from there while its on ( I know still inconvenient, but better than losing fish). Also you could consider buying a car battery kit which allows you to hook a car battery up to a system which then converts it to the standard voltage. Having 2 spare car batteries could last you a decent while(maybe 5 hours?) depending on the tank and what you run (I'd only do heater and flow).

Btw: I have 41 inches of snow standing in my back yard from all the storms in the past month. Anyone have more than that haha.

 

GEEZUS. I had to turn the AC on today!! ;D
