In case of emergency - what do you have

[Amstar]

What do you have in case of tank emergencies?

Me: I have a house generator (so tanks benefit) in case of power loss

Carbon
RO/IO water on hand
Extra pump
Extra heater
Cheap led light
20 gallon what if tank

What are some things that have come in handy for you

extra heaters
fallow tanks at temperature and salinity to match the other systems
cash
lots of frozen food lol
32 gal storage containers of RODI and SW
800 gallons of salt in boxes
extension cords/power strips
Ohio Reef Club and R2R for support and information

Awesome thread! Here is what I have

-Whole house generator running on natural gas (if you can’t justify the expense, a battery powered air pump can suffice on a $50 battery backup can run for 4-5 days)
-$100 Window AC in case of lost AC unit
-Dual return pumps (highly recommend)
-Declorinator (highly recommend) so I can use tap water in case of emergency and no less then enough salt for 100% water change (all city tap water is just fine for water change. If you have a well then that may be not be safe)
