I wouldn't start raising the temp either. Rather you might start lowering the temp at a slow rate prior to the power outage to keep from any sharp declines in temp caused by the outage. Fish do not do all that bad in cooler temps for a short time as long as it’s not abrupt. Yes they are...

That is cool. That will be alot of cory's.

I'm not asking where, but how. How did you find that and what were you doing out in the middle of no where? Just going for a walk or what? seems odd that someone could trip on something so remote. Very cool I might add.

Water and fish go together. So water it is. Nothing can live without Water. ;)
