Tips from our Techs
When the filters are not running due to a power outage, it is wise to place your airstones at the top of the aquarium. Under normal conditions, any organic material that is stirred up by airstones placed on the bottom is properly filtered. Placing your airstones at the top of your aquarium during a power outage ensure toxic organic wastes on the bottom are not stirred up and mixed within the aquarium.

Oxygen Depletion
One of the first things that happens when your power goes out is that the oxygen level in your aquarium begins to decrease. There are several things that speed the depletion of oxygen including:
A heavy fish load
An increase in temperature
A heavy plant load
Feeding the fish
An increase in fish activity
If you have a heavily stocked aquarium and live in an area where power outages are common, a generator may be a wise purchase to maintain your aeration device, as well as other vital aquarium equipment.
However, consider having a battery-operated air pump, or an airstone or two on hand as an inexpensive alternative. While it will not replace your current airstone or pump, it will add some oxygen back into the water.

Throughout a week-long power outage (due to an ice storm in Oklahoma) this little pump worked nonstop on a couple D cell batteries. The fish in my 30 gallon tank survived. Sometimes paranoia pays off. Do your fish a favor and grab one of these inexpensive pumps.
I am new to fish keeping and have been getting a few different items to have on hand in case of a power outage. Well thinking ahead definitely pays off, our power went out recently and having one of these little inexpensive pumps definitely saved my fish!!
I have six tanks and when the power goes out I use this very cheap and powerful unit, it has more flow then most standard air pumps and, is able to run on one or two D-cell batteries, lasts for a good several hours on fresh batteries, easy to use simple design. Well worth the very small amount of money.
