Good luck to all of you guys.
1) Don't feed if you don't have to. Most health fish can go a week or more with no adverse affects.
2) Cycle water through your BB if possible (Dump water through HOB's or manually pump water through canisters. I've even went to the extent of putting all my bio media in a 5 gallon bucket hung above my tank with holes punched in the bottom and I dumped tank water through the bucket every hour or two).
3) Agitate the water surface manually if necessary.
4) Try and keep the temperature as close to normal as possible.

I was going to go out last night and get some battery air pumps for the tanks last night but didnt want to go out in the weather. Well at about 1230 am I wake up to no power. So I started manually scooping out tank water and pouring it back in until I had to go to work at 2am. had my mom watching the tanks untill I got off work at 630.
Still had no power when I got home so took all the bio and either put it in the tank or put it in a bucket with tank water and kept it all oxygenated. then went to walmart around 9 to get some battery air pumps and batteries.
Can you guess what happend after i get home with the pumps? power comes back on haha
Put everything back together and got all the filters going. did a small water change and will watch for ammonia. Everybody looks fine no dead fish so thats good. Atleast now I wll be prepared in the future.
Hope everyone is safe and takin care of those monsters

the world ends in 2012 xD they did predict an increase in natural disaster to the point where life can not continue in certain areas.
Sorry to hear but. I would use a sponge filter and a bucket. take all ur media into a 5g bucket with little holes cut in it and put the sponge filter in there run off a dc air pump that should filter the water well enough.
On long island, lost some big trees, no power for over 24 hours, tanks under blankets and using a bubbler. No losses yet but lost 9 degrees in each tank. Rough here but we're surviving

If anyone is close to Westport CT and needs a generator, there is a flatbed truck selling them at the Homegoods lot on route 1, just south of exit 19 on hwy 95.
