Great information from the team at Mary-Anne’s Aquariums

Hey Fellow Hobbyists!

I just wanted to share some tips and tricks just in case with imminent Cyclone threat we have, and possible power outages.

- Get battery operated air pumps or even Cordless tool to mains power inverters, and charge as many batteries as possible. Obviously Generator is the best in this situation.

- Get a good quality Neutraliser (like Prime or Safe) which can help bind ammonia and nitrite.

- Have some water stowed away, this will be good for small water changes or emergency isolation of fish/ inhabitants.

- If you are using power inverters or battery back up solutions, run the absolute lowest wattage item you can get like a single out let air pump, or a very low wattage wave maker. This will make your battery last the longest amount of time.

- Surface agitation is to most effective way to introduce oxygen! When we had our 450 breeding aquariums, we went through and scooped containers of water and poured them back in every 30-45 minutes to introduce oxygen, this keep most of our fish alive when we lost power for close to 2 days.

- Every 24 hours either using emergency storage of water, change 10% every 24 hours to limit ammonia, and nitrite build ups. OR use the Neutralizer to bind ammonia and nitrite.

- If the tank is getting warm, you can place pvc pipes across your tank, and put clean cloths up and over and fan the cloths, it's not as good as a chiller/ice but will drop the tank 1-2 degrees and hopefully might be enough.🤞

- Pure hydrogen peroxide is miracle worker, adding 2 drops of 10% hydrogen peroxide per 50L of water will introduce safe usable oxygen in for your fish. You can do this every 2 hours as well.

MOST IMPORTANT - If the power has been off for 6-8 hours or more, disconnect and remove ANY CANISTER Filter or reactors, and give them a full clean and leave off the tank. The good aerobic bacteria will have gone rancid and will start breaking down and release sulphur dioxide (rotten egg gas smell). If the power comes back on and it's connected, this will go into your system and be extremely toxic. (We had this happen to our display in our old shop).

Edit - Other hobbyist suggestions 🙂 (Thank you!)

- I forgot this one... Limit the amount of food whilst there is a power outage, this will limit the amount of fish waste.

- Putting some bunch plants in will help oxygen levels as well. The best would be bunches of Elodea. But take them out after 5 days, as with low light they may start to degrade.

I hope these tips help, and please share with your fellow fish keeping friends,

Thanks again, and stay safe everyone!

Dennison (and Leila) :-)
