ummm....I haven't even considered the possibility of power outage...I too live in MD. I really just don't expect this to be the snowpocalypse every one is expecting.
haha, agreed diogenes, but my college has power outages on a sunny day so it really wouldn't surprise me. the weather forecasters didn't expect the 6 inches we got last weekend.
In case of emergency, use 1 teaspoon of hydrogen peroxide, the stuff you find in your first aid kit for every 40gal. It will help the fish get more "air". Works as a TEMPORARY solution to oxygen deprivation.
