Urgent - power outage, borrow your generator

[Julius Chen]

Who has generator I can borrow?

No power and my fish tank temp has dipped to 69 F.

I live in Fremont.

Not super helpful, but if you have a gas stove you can heat water, toss it in bottles, and toss them in, plus cover the tank with blankets. Kind of like using frozen bottles to cool during the summer. Not the best solution but something.

AAA Equipment Rentals has generators also​

Sorry.. hope you can grab one somewhere

Got a loaner from the crossing guard at daughter’s elementary school. In its way to me now

Agitate your water with a big spoon if you have no other options. PGE is hoping to have it restored by 9am, according to their outage map site.

Good to keep battery air bubblers on hand low oxygen is a fish killer.

Power restoration postponed to 11am. I am using a small UPS to power a Tunze pump in front of a battery powered air stone. Generator on its way.

Don’t trust pge. Plan for the long game.

Purchasing a $350 inverter generator was probably the smartest choice I've made in reefing. (other than becoming a supporting member on BAR of course!) When the power goes out I just laugh at PG&E and rip the start cord.
