Electrical supply shut off !

[CookieCrunch]

Hey reefers !

I have received a notice on my block that the electrical supply will be shut off for 30 mins due to maintenance . Will it be ok for the fishes and coral ?

If not what should I do ?? It is tomorrow !!

Thank you .

30 min is ok for the fish and coral , if you are still worried that it might last longer than that try to get a battery operated air pump.

My understanding is that 30min should not be a problem at all.

If you are paranoid & have the time a cheap option is to purchase a battery operated air pump from C328.

I've also read about people manually scooping water & pouring it back occasionally to create some flow.

Portable air pump. Run on battery. Work for me for two day.

Ps ammonia spike and fish die because the water doesn't go into sump

Nothing to worry about. My block just did the 30min shut down.

My fishes and corals were not affected by the 30min shut down. And only me affected by the shut down because I need to take the staircase to go up to 17th floor as I forgot about the shut down when I'm coming back home.

Fish and coral are in bag for more than 30 mins when we left LFS to home.

Do a WC and skip a feeding or two before the shutdown will help keep the water clean.

No worries bro.

No problem for 30mins shut down. Sometime our water change or maintenance already take up more than that. My block just did a shut down recently, although they said 30mins but the actual duration is only 10mins.

Alright ! Thanks much everyone for the assurance . Made me feel better .

30mins is not a problem at all for livestocks... but make sure the work doesn't extend beyond that... I had a electric work that lasted 6hours! Good thing that they gave me a notice a couple if days before that. In this cases, do ask for a backup electric supply. Call the project manager if u have to, usually they have their Hp number on the flyer. Tell them your fishs worth thousands and are they gonna be responsible is anything happens?? What they can do is connect extention plugs from their generators groundfloor all the way up to ur unit... 6hours without chiller and flow on a hot day is no joke.

also makesure your sump water level no overflow causing the flood when power outage. Cheers

Alright thanks guys ! Calling to ask for the generator sounds like an idea next time . But hopefully that doesn't happen
