Power Cut

[mhancock]

We've no power due the storms, been off for a few hours at least.

Tanks down to 22oC, thankfully we have a gas cooker so I'm mixing boiling water with tank water to add to tank. Will stop when temp high twenties.

Really worried about bacteria in filters though.

Any thoughts!?

Filter bacteria will survive a lot longer than you think. After a day or two, they'll go dormant, but should soon spring back into action. What sort of filters do you have; internal or external?

 

[mhancock]

Thank you! 225l is external and hood, 85l is internal.

In the village where I live we get power cuts regular sometimes for twelve hours and i've never had a problem. The only problem with it being off because of the weather is the length of time it may take the lecky board to reinstate your supply some times its days. that's when it will be a problem.

After about 12 hours the power was back on, fish seem fine

That's good news.
