Hi guys, i'm in boca raton i was without elec for six days, i had three battery powered air stones in my 75, i'm lucky i didn't loss anything, the elec came on yesterday at 5pm and the tank smelled like hell, i went out today to pep boys and got an inverter that converts dc to ac all you do is run it from your battery to your tank and it works its 75 bucks, i'm so sorry for all the losses in my area and there's alot, about four hours before the lights came on a guy in an apt in my building found out i had a tank and hooked me up to his inverter and it ran my tank, if i would have gone one more day i would have lost everything, hope this helps. P.S. just found some shrimp that didn't make.

We'll be praying it to loose it's strength before landfall. Hey miracles still happen!

Glad you made it through. Hopefully the inverter will help if Ivan comes your way.

Are you using the airstones in pcv elbows to create some flow?

No matter what the cost if it comes this way i will have a generator strong enough to power my AC and tanks.
