shawry74 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Ok....so if Energex don't do maintenance on the grid and there are power failures with longer outages, which would you prefer? The system doesn't maintain itself mate. There are quite a few people who work for Energex here, and they do a pretty good job of making sure that the supply of electricity is reliable.

shawry74 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 No worries, but venting your frustrations can have drastic effects in a public forum. People are here to help in these situations and there are a few products out there that can help you. Can I suggest Seachem Stability....a great product to have handy when these things occur.

shawry74 Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Power outages are dreaded by all aquarium hobbyists, but unless you can afford an elaborate back-up system to keep constant power (which lets face it, very few of us can afford this), the next best thing is to make sure that you maintain your tanks at optimal levels to combat these situations. I try to do weekly water changes and constantly test to ensure water parameters are within the required range. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hareysfish Posted October 2, 2014 Report Share Posted October 2, 2014 Easily fixed , buy a cheap 2kw genny and run your whole home whilst the power is out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JayPee Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Yep get a Genny. I've had mine for 18 months and haven't had to use it. But peace of mind knowing it's there. Sent via auspost Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Julli Posted October 3, 2014 Report Share Posted October 3, 2014 Yes we have a generator too, we live in cairns and with cyclones each year we always lose power, when the power goes out my tank is only off for a minimum of 1/2 a hour before the jenny kicks in. Our generator is wired into our fuse box. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
