Go figure just as I get brave enough to get back in the hobby. Lost all of mine when friends from Alvin came and stayed with us during Rita. They decided after we had went to bed that watching T.V. was more important than running my fish tanks on the generator (we had lost power even this far north). Lets just hope that all the Hurricanes go another direction this year.

For the 13 1/2 days my power was out after Ike hit, I ran all of my tanks through a big power inverter plugged to the car. I didn't sleep very well b/c I had to wake up in the middle of the night to start/turn off the car to keep the battery alive. I'm not looking forward to doing that again but I will if I have to. My neighborhood always seems to be the last to get power back whenever there's an outage.

May I ask what kind of power inverter you have and where did you get it.

Planning on getting a generator soon. Justin Case.
FYI, consider a natural gas or propane generator if you have access to either fuel source. Gasoline is hard to come by after a natural disaster that interferes with electric distribution lines. Gasoline lines are very long and spotty after a natural disaster and storage of gasoline is a problem due to degradation of fuel in a short period of time.
