Power has been restored!

Anyone know how long my tanks can go with no power? We lost our power last night around 4:30am and it is not back on yet. I am not sure if/when I need to run out and try to find a generator.

I would get a battery powered air pump just to keep some air in the tank and some water circulation. I am down the road and have one but i want be home until 4-5pm. I know petsmart sells one that is pretty cheap.
If it looks like it's going to be out more then today i would be looking for a generator.

i would get some air in there for sure. Generator is great but the ghetto way is a 400w power inverter hooked up to your running car just do not use it on heaters or mh lights. ( use the power inverter that hooks up to battery not to your cig lighter
