    You need to at least get battery powered air to them.

          Walmart also sells the battery powered pumps. I'd get at least two for each tank. Also, If your filters are just sitting with media and gunk in them, they will go anaerobic and all the bacteria will die and you will have a mess on your hands. You can put the media in a bucket of dechlorinated water with a battery air pump to try to keep the bacteria alive. You can give the filters a good cleaning during this time. After Ike I did daily water changes on my tanks during the power outtage. With your stocking you'll likely need to.

          What are the facts? Again and again and again--what are the facts? Shun wishful thinking, ignore devine revelation, forget what "the stars foretell", avoid opinion, care not what the neighbors think, never mind the unguessable "verdict of history"--what are the facts, and to how many decimal places? You pilot always into an unknown future; facts are your only clue.
