We are facing weather conditions where obviously, after last year, electrical power outages are a large concern. You may soon experience outages, and Glass Aquatics wants to prepare you.We believe we will be at the store Thursday, Friday, & Saturday from 12-5. CALL or TEXT BEFORE YOU COME (817) 485-3474.We will be back to normal on Monday... open 10-7.We have an emergency number to call 24 hours a day. This number is only available to Ofishal Members. If you want to sign up to be an Ofishal Member, text the above number and we will give you more info on how to sign up.
Concerns if your power goes out: Your aquarium has tons of dissolved oxygen and will be okay for 8-24 hours with out pumps running (time frame depends on your bio-load) Do not feed the fish while your power is out.Run your fireplace or space heater. Ambient room temperature is vital to keeping your aquarium warm. You will want to wrap a blanket around the walls of the aquarium, to insulate, but DO NOT put a blanket fully covering the top of the aquarium.If you have to, and you have a gas stove, heat up water to no more than 90 degrees and place the hot water in a sealed jar(s). Place the jars in your tank for 30 minutes, and then do it over and over till the power comes back on. This will help stabilize the temperature.If you have a battery powered fishing live bait air pump, run it on your aquariumTake a large cup and fill the cup with aquarium water an pour it back into the aquarium from 12 inches above the water. Repeat for 15 minutes every hour on the hour.Do not feed your fish while power is outContingency Plan if power is off so long that animals start dying:You should have a bottle of water conditioner under your aquarium.Remove dead fish and coral as soon as they die.You can use our fish/coral hospital services, if you need to bring your animals in to house them here at our store. We would only be able to receive the animals when we are here.
