Great to know members are willing to help. We were told that it would be tomorrow 1pm before we get power so I went to Northern Hardware and spent $600 on a new generator. Then my wife called and said the power came back on. Aarrrhhh luckily they took it back. Lol. I am going to research and get a quality one for future power outages. What a nerve racking day. The water temps were dropping. Everything seems ok.

Thank you very much Tim for the offer.

No problem. Got mine the last time we were hit with ice storm and once I bought it our power came on also, but I kept it and thisyear it came in handy. I would rather have it and not need it than need it and not have it!

After the tragedy last year with my tank. I bought a 3500/4000 generator from cabelas for 300$. I did the break in, changed the oil then ran it out of gas. So it's ready to go.

Glad neither of you lost anything! Amazing how resilient fish and corals can be.

Blow dryer and then wrap it in a warm towel straight from the dryer. I had to run my hose yesterday to make some water. Took a looooooong time lol!
