That makes two of us! You're right about the beeping, and had I thought about that we wouldn't be having this conversation. So, off to the garage to find that spare UPS from a previous job...

That's a bummer on your loss. I had no idea bala sharks could live that long. My son's is about 5 yrs old right now, and several of his other fish are about the same age. I guess we will have them around for quite a while longer.

If anything, having a UPS hooked up when the power goes out will start it beeping. That would hopefully be enough of an alert. Good luck on it.

She was freaking out when she called me, but kudos to her for the quick thinking. The b*stard venustus lived and routinely bites me if I feed him by hand. He's very ornery.

Can you share some info on your setup? I am curious.

I am so paranoid about this happening that I have small backup generators for my tanks. Sorry about the fish that you lost but happy that you did not lose them all. Your wife is a hero! Smart thinking with the airhose.
