So power went out at my house Wednesday night, 20 minutes after My wife and I got home from the hospital. We had our first baby on Monday afternoon, Abigail was born at 2:00 pm. Anyways we get home and due to a foot of snow the power went out. So we had to evacuate to her parents house. Hours later, still no power at home. So my father-in-law and I launched a rescue mission at nine o'clock at night. It took an hour to net all my fish out of my 46 gallon tank and get them all loaded in the car. The water was probably between 40-45 degrees F. (Freezing Cold.) Got them to my In-Laws, got the water heated up, and sponge filter set up in there temporary trash can home. Didn't lose one fish. Epic rescue mission.

congrates on your first I still remember the excitement of mine like it was yesterday. good save on the fish that's a huge fear of mine loss of her in the winter, I have had two 14+ hour power outages thank goodness it was summer. I can stir the water til the cows come home but I have ni idea how I would keep the water warm.

again double congrates
