You could try to take the fish to a local pet store, probablly best to call them first and see if they can clear a tank for you. Then "rent"/ "Borrow" thier space for a day or two depending on how the store is about it.

Another option would be to get a few phone numbers of fellow reefers in your area at the next meeting and if it happens again maybe one of them will let you swing buy and get some hot water, or might have a QT tank not being used that you can throw them in until your tank is back in business.

I know they have tons of battery powered air pumps and such, but never seen a heater run off a battery, I think they use too much juice. Perhaps a power converter for your car, I know they convert 12v to 110v but not sure if they drain a car battery useing a 200w or more heater. If a car battery would last long enough, you could lways buy a car battery and an inverter for next time, but that would be kinda spendy.
