Aquarium Power Cut - How to Keep the Filter and Fish Alive

3 years ago

Sorry, this is another Magnum Opus.....
Power cuts are coming and that's not me being an alarmist - they are inevitable as we're in a new era of engineered scarcity and being prepared is the best way to avoid a 'Dark Winter'. Maybe it would be a good idea to plan for the future but if you think everything is A-OK then give this video a miss and ignore it until the power goes out.......just don't blame me when your fish pollute themselves through lack of filtration or freeze to death......Please share the video if you found it useful. I can't believe I forgot to include my petrol generator in this video but the information given for the Jackery 1000 is relevant to the petrol generator - check link below for the 2kW petrol generator I have. It's great (and very quiet).
Also, a few people have suggested having a camping gas stove on hand to warm water to keep the tank up to temperature - that's a great idea.
