A small inverter and your boat battery will take care of the fish. :-)

Funny you should mention that. I was thinking of an inverter last night and I do have that 12v boat battery sitting in the basement illuminating my exercise room 24/7. I had just charged it up as I do now twice a month. At least that would keep the tropical fish happy. Youngest son brought that tank and a bunch of fish back home with him about 10 years ago. When he left again the tank and fish stayed...he said it was too much trouble to move. Only one original fish left (Algae Eater) but I took over the duties of tank cleaning and one feeding a day. Wife stocks the tank as fish die off and does the morning feeding.

I lived on batteries and an inverter the night after Charley (PC and
TV). You can recharge it from your car when it goes down.
I just rolled my Honda up to the door and had it ticking over at an
idle tho.
