Caryl Posted June 18, 2004 Report Share Posted June 18, 2004 Heat shouldn't be a problem, especially in bigger tanks. Have a blanket or duvet handy to throw over the tank to keep the heat in. If the temp drops slowly it won't be a problem and I doubt it gets that cold up your way anyway BG. When the power comes back on the temp will slowly rise again. The filters are the problem as the bacteria in them start to die quite quickly. Get some battery operated pumps or a UPS as discussed in other threads here.
