What is the most Important piece of equipment need during one of these long power outages .

Some of us cant afford to go out and buy a generator so would it just be a battery powered air pump.

How long will the life is the sump last without oxygen im sure it would be substancialy longer than the display tank and

How long would you be able to go with just an air pump and say stiring up the water a little bit every now and then

My fish did fine for two and a half days with only air pumps and bottles of boiled water, but the tank not too stocked. I also only have one hammer coral currently and this afternoon it started looking very bad. I don't think it would make it past 3 days without having the temp pushed up closer too normal.
