How long can fish and coral go without flow?
Had a power outage and was just curious. Everything is fine but whats the limit in time?
|
Depending on the amount of animals/plants eating up the Oxygen in there, a fw hours to a few days. I would get a battery operated powerhead or airstone at minimum to keep the oxygen circulating.
|
Mine went 8 hr. and lost some of the fish. The coral all came out ok.
|
They make battery operated powerheads? o.0
|
Mine went 8 hours early last week and I lost every fish in the system plus a few of the corals.
|
Dr Fosters has 3 azoo battery pumps for 10 bucks. They use D batteries. I use mine to aerate freshly mixing salt water too.
|
Vortechs have a battery backup option that lasts for up to 30 hours for 1 pump, 15 hours for 2.
