You're all right on the money. I'm going to get a generator. I just got back from checking the fish and lucky I did! There was an algae bloom, which likely would have made things worse tomorrow. I turned off the feeder, increased the water flow by 300% and drained off all water to start fresh. This way when the power goes out the fish will start with O2 at saturation. Another good thing is that the air temps tomorrow are going to be between 45 and 50 degrees, so I shouldn't have to worry about the tank freezing. Tomorrow morning I'll see if I can get something to hook to my really good marine battery that I've got out there and start a battery backup. If I charge out there during lunch I'll check on the fish. I have one hour for lunch and it takes me 45 minutes round trip to check on fish. Maybe I can move my 1 pm patient to 1:15.

Update tomorrow!
