@mattb2906 Жыл бұрын

From what I’ve read, people often panic about this way more than is necessary. Unless your tank is very heavily stocked, a tank can normally last quite some time on the oxygen supply in the tank. Most fish/coral also can handle a temporary decrease in temp.

@BlueReefTank Жыл бұрын

It's better to be safe than sorry 🙂

@AaronHendu Жыл бұрын

If I had to leave my tank overnight during a power outage, my small tank would be room temp by morning, which, with no heat, would be pretty cold this time of year..I don't think they'd survive in an ice block. My tank doesn't even like it when it drop to 75 C.

@mattb2906 Жыл бұрын

What’s room temp for you? For me it’s around 73. I recently saw someone who keeps their frag tank at 73 F, all the time.. Wild. Not ideal at all, but I think our corals can be more resilient than we think sometimes.

I have two batteries hooked up to a single wave maker it gives me about 55 hours it’s a Jebao MLW 5 on 35% it’s not my mine wave maker it’s there for power outage you made a smart investment the very best of luck with future outages

@uglymansreefing1862 Жыл бұрын

Battery backups and a generator are essential items for a reef keeper nowadays with all the reliable renewable energy Australia has bahahahahaha.

@AaronHendu Жыл бұрын

I'm concerned about power outages...I have everything essential connected to a UPS, but last outage it worked for about two hours before the battery low beep started. It never ran out before power came back on, but we are getting like a foot of snow per day...I woke up this morning and the sky was almost black with cloud to the west...eerie. I imagine we are going to keep getting snow, and it's wet, heavy snow cause it's not that cold yet. I have to go out today and get the snow off the shed roof before it collapses. The trees look OK still, but if they got too heavy with snow, they will break and inevitably hit power lines. I wasn't ready for this much snow this early. I have to go get some more battery for my UPS before disaster strikes.

@BlueReefTank Жыл бұрын

Good idea. The thing with ecotech battery is that it will automatically program the pump to run at a lower setting therefore prolonging the battery life. If the pump is connected to a UPS, it will still run at the "usual" speed which means it'll draw more power and reducing the battery life. I think the battery back uo from ecotech is a great investment. BRS did a video about it where they compare the battery with UPS. You should check it out

@Botzz28 Жыл бұрын

What’s a good battery backup to have ? I don’t have eco tech products or pumps or anything. Any suggestions for a universal battery backup to have on hand?

@garrycole9187 Жыл бұрын

Really all you need is a battery operated air pump. If you are not home, I believe you can use the cobalt aquatics rescue pump, it operates on a regular power but has a batteries that can last up to 24 hours. Those batteries won't last that long. I use a battery but it is just a regular rechargeable battery with a 12 VDC output and with an adapter, I have it on the main mp40 wavemaker. It cost 1/2 of the ecotech ones and I can use it to go camping if needed.

@BlueReefTank Жыл бұрын

Will it turn on by itself if you're not around?

@krisk899 Жыл бұрын

How you get enough food in the tank for the manderins? It’s a new tank? Or there was enough in the old rocks ? I got a waterbox cube20 and just wait for the 1 year mark and get myself a couple manderins, love them 😇

@mattb2906 Жыл бұрын

From what I’ve read, unless you’re constantly stocking that tank with pods, they’ll quickly eat through the amount in that tank size and starve, so please supplement their diet!

I have a lot of pods in the tank especially the sump. It came from my old tank 🙂
