yeah, I would say that heat and circulation (oxygenation) are the most important factors. The corals will be fine for quite a while without light. I would venture to say as long as a week, maybe more with no majorly ill effects. They won't be happy, that for sure, but they will live.

Our local Tractor Supply Co. has what they call 'mini' generators. I was looking at some last weekend. They are pretty neat and should run heaters and pumps just fine. I can't recall how much they were but they were almost as much as the larger models. Oh, they were Powered by fuel effiecient Honda Motors. So the extra cost may be offset by the amount of fuel it uses.
