Everyone. Power outage here!!!

[7napoleon]

Ok every one. My street is experience power outage, not expect power back in 12 hours. I have 4 tank: 125 gallon. 75 gallon. 20gallon. 10gallon. I don't have battery power air pump.
What I can do to keep my fishes alive?
Now I manually add water to each tank once an hour.
Anything else I can do

And I am not planing on low water level to relay on fish movement to increase oxygen. My tap water is horrible. Can not add to aquarium even after add conditioner. So water is precious for me.

Your screwed

Where do you live? Maybe somebody has a pump you can borrow. Just cut down on feelings and stir the water. You should also run water thought the filter. The fish will be fine. I was joking about being screwed. My fish made it through Sandy for weeks. Fish go through much worse when they're getting shipped.

Battery air pump is necessary just in case like you have experienced, would rush to a store and pick some up ASAP .

Go drive out to a fish store that is open and buy a battery air pump.

It's sad to say but I agree with the others your pretty screwed. I've learned this the hard way that's why now I always have battery air pumps and D batteries put away with other storm/safety supplies. Good luck.

Most importantly- take all the bio media out of the filters- clean it with tank water, then put in a mesh bag and put it directly into the tank. This will help keep the ammonia levels in check. As for oxygen, just take cups of tank water and pour them back into the tank slowly repeatedly for about 5 minutes every hour.

I wish people would stop saying he's screwed. You're obviously uneducated on what to do during a power outage. Read what I wrote, it will help you all in the future. I had to do this for 5 days when I had no power after storm Sandy. Didn't lose a single fish in 3 tanks
