I recently lost 30 fry because they were without air for a day. I got home from work and noticed the power strip had no power. Pissed me off. Lost two adults and the others were gasping for air. Problem was that I was treating with meds and they absorb some oxygen so I would assume with no meds it could be longer.210gPetrochromis Macrognatus Green 'Nsumbu

Battery operated works but if your tanks aren't severely overstocked then you can go 12-18 Hrs depending on fish125g: Empty For Now

I had the power out in the winter for over 19 hours ., had a 72 gal bowfront with 15 fish between 2 inches and 3 inches did not lose one
A 150 with a Large Group of Trophs 20 fish 3 - 4inch fish lost one
A 75 gal with another group of Trophs no losses
Also a 20 long with 6 Queen Arabesque plecos no losses
All tanks were around 65 to 70 degrees no ick either And I live in the Midwest In Nebraska . Very cold in the winter...Very Lucky!!! to not have any losses.
