I know this is small potatoes compared to all of the people without heat, but I humbly ask you guys to keep the Texas fishkeeping community in your thoughts during all of this. There's a lot of endangered aquatic life in the area and many of these species are being preserved entirely by hobbyists. It would be a shame if we lost the chance to reintroduce some of these populations into their natural environments due to mass filter failure or something dumb like that.

You could run most aquariums off a decent power inverter for a car battery. They’re probably already gone off the shelves
