Perfect timing. Lost power. And remembered I had a Battery air pump hooked to my shiner bucket

@RockMongler 2 жыл бұрын

During the big freeze last year in Texas, I luckily was able to get by by wrapping both of my tanks in sleeping bags and relying on battery/USB air pumps to keep everything going. I had no losses (both of my tanks were cool-water species that normally live with my condo's room temp of 68-76 through the year), but I do worry a bit now that I have a heater for my betta in my 10 gallon. I have a smaller gas generator I have already bought since, and combining that with the 1000 watt unit would let me run the generator during the day to generate power, and use the battery for the rest of the time when dealing with the inevitable extended power outages that come with hurricanes/winter storms around here.

@scrubjay93 2 жыл бұрын

The sleeping bags are a great idea and I will remember it if the time comes--I have a couple of old down bags--maybe wrap with one of those emergency (silver) blankets? Without power, my house can drop to the low 30s in winter---brrrrrr. All you can do is bring snacks into bed and get under heavy blankets. ;)

@paulwhite9242 2 жыл бұрын

I was lucky enough to manage to not lose much...we lost power for 3 days straight then it was very spotty for another 3-4 days but we have a gas stove so I heated water on the stove and kept their water in the lower 60s. Inside temps in our house got down into the 30s. My brother had a harder time because they were all electric, and were without power for longer.

@pjp9383 2 жыл бұрын

The sleeping bag is a great idea. I put some items on my Christmas gift list for this purpose - battery backup air pumps, thin metallic emergency blankets, and those little pocket hand warmers. Not going to keep things super warm in an extended mid-winter outage, but would help keep things a bit better for the most sensitive fish, in smaller tanks, for shorter outages.

@@pjp9383 I would be in fear with every windstorm here, lol. I was without electricity for 10 days once, right before Xmas, everything on electric including well pump. That was years ago, but it has still kept me from starting up a tank, sadly. I do want to set up a couple smaller ones with Tanganyika shellies and julies.

@@scrubjay93 Oh dear! What about aiming for a heavily planted, lightly stocked tank, with heavily textured rock for hardscaping, so as to provide lots of surface are for beneficial bacteria? That might survive no filter better than some? I am actually really thinking about trying to go filterless in my betta tanks, after making some adjustments...

I just had five days without power here in Scotland. Three tanks full of fish saved by someone giving me hot water 4 times a day, constantly moving the water by taking it out and pouring it back in. Replacing a third of the water each time I put in hot water and then wrapping each tank in quilts and blankets. Every single fish survived!

@pjp9383 2 жыл бұрын

Yes! When I have a longish power outage, I make a point of going to each tank every hour or so, scooping some of the water up and pouring it back in, for the sake of the surface agitation to get some oxygen into the water.

@catwomanva 2 жыл бұрын

I would love one of these. My current back-up plan is USB air pumps and a whole lot of solar rechargeable cell phone blocks. This would make things so much easier upstairs where I have multiple tanks, one device could be powering it all and for longer periods of time versus having a whole bunch of smaller ones spread across the room that I need to swap out every day to recharge. I have been looking at the battery backup power bar type, but they don't last as long. We have a generator that will run our whole house, but sometimes the weather is so bad we can't get out to hook it up until the next day or, if the weather is really bad for an extended amount of time you can run out of fuel and can't get more for a bit or, of course, your generator dies on you when you need it most. Either would be great, but I could definitely manage with a 1,000.

Being in Florida, I don’t really have to worry about freezes much, but we do have lots of storms with the random with a random tornado or hurricane that takes out power for a while. For years I had a single 29, but now I have a couple of 75s and a 55 gal. With an additional 5 tanks (mix of 10s & 20s) a neighbor is giving me because his dad is getting too old to keep up any more. I’ve learned that Multi Tank Addiction is a real thing. I think a 2000w would do well for that and a small fridge. Thanks for an informative review and giving us an idea on a useful item that many hobbyists wouldn’t think about. And a big thanks to the Okmo for making it possible.

New aquarist here. Father of a 75 cichlid tank and a 40 breeder. I'm in Florida our storms are not infrequently strong. Our power goes out somewhat frequently. They usually are able to get it back on pretty quick but it's good to not rely they'll get it done fast everytime. Having a 1,000 watt running air stones would let me sleep well at night.

Ultimately, either one would be fantastic, but I'll say the 2000. My husband and I are both fishkeepers and high school teachers. We have tanks at home and in our classrooms. We live on the coast of North Carolina, and it's typical for us to get hit with at least one hurricane each summer/fall. When Hurricane Florence came through in September of 2018, we were the first point of landfall, and our power was out for almost two weeks. Having something like this would definitely alleviate some of the stress of hurricane season. Lol.

(120g, 60g, and 3 20g long) luckily a local fish store took all of our fish and none died, but it was close. Because of storm damage we ended up losing all our aquariums. After 9 months of rebuilding we are back home and just got a 75g to start back fish keeping. I worry about another storm and losing power for an extended period and this would be huge to help protect our fish.

The days are so short here in winter in Washington state that it was only light for a short day, like living in a cave.

I've been looking for a generator for this exact reason. Lost power during a snowstorm last year for 2 days. Luckily I had a battery operated air pump to save most of my fish. Unluckily I lost a fish due to the aquarium getting too cold and having no way to power my heater. Would love to have the 1,000 watt. I'd say that would've been enough to keep my tanks heaters running for the 2 days the power was out. At the same time before I had an aquarium we had a snow storm that kept the power out for 5 days and in that case I don't believe the 1,000 would've been enough but the 2,000 probably would have. So either would be a blessing for me and my Mbunas. Love the channel btw. I've learned alot and continue to be educated by your experience in fish keeping.

We have been looking for awhile now for the right solution if we have an outage. We currently have 16 fish tanks so the 2000 watt would be a HUGE help! Please include me in your drawing ! You guys are great!!

Living in the frozen North, the 2000 would provide peace of mind for the fish fam.

Thanks for such a great review! I'd never heard of the Okmo generators. We don't usually get power outages that last for more than an hour or two where we currently live, but we have dealt with longer ones in the past (drunk driver hit a pole and took a transformer BOTH times!). I do worry about what I can do if we have that kind of longer outage happen again. Now I know what to look for!

2000 unit. I live full time in my rv and my power management is always something that I have to keep in mind.

We don't get a lot of power outages, but having one of these would make me feel much better. Thanks for the chance to win. I would chose the 1000 watt one.

You should charge those power banks with solar. Like the bluetti setups. You can also just buy a bunch of cheap solar panels and batteries and a controller with outlet plug ins.

I would love to have the 2000 watt. Living in California, we are constantly dealing with wildfires along with PG&E blackouts. My family and I just started our first aquarium and I definitely need to make sure these fish stay alive for my little guy to enjoy, especially in the time of disasters. Good luck to everyone that enters, I'm sure these generators will go to someone that needs them. Hearing your review, these sound like the real deal of back up for anything essential in the home.

I dont know : in my country; there is several people modify UPS to be a backup for longer time than regular UPS. Regular UPS as long i know will be backup electricity for short time... Lets says 10 minutes maksimal. No matter how big mAh stored in those UPS. 3 minutes.... Cuts off, bye bye With modification, thus it backup electricity UNTIL completely Dry. Can you modify UPS......for your need?
