Because we’re in a coastal area we do have a large propane powered generator. After a life of relentless travel, that’s not a retirement priority for us, so the occasional 1 week vacation would be about it. Euthanize fish? Isn’t that what the toilet is for (kidding…couldn’t resist)? Lastly, we have a useless garden tub about 20 feet away that is earmarked for water change duty.

Filter set up under the tank it is possible to set up a siphon situation, and the filter under the tank is a fraction of the tanks size. With no power to pump to empty filter back up into tank, it will overflow and drain onto the floor until the siphoning stops or all that is left is in the filter part of the system.....
