I see lots of people complaining about outages.
I have a suggestion that has worked for me in the past.
————————
**** if cold, you can always raise tank temps by heating some RODI water and adding into plastic Poland spring or similar bottles to keep temps up.
Coulda always use hot tap water if you have electric stove.
As far as AGITATION AND airation…..
What has worked for me is…..
Fill a large container. 5 gallon jug works well or a 5G bucket. Somehow fix it above the height of the tank. Not sure of the size of the tank, so not sure you can or want to support on the glass tank itself, but if you can set up a table or pile or tables or something and then….
Have tubing flow down into the tank! This will airate and provide flow. You could also add warm or cold bottles of RODI in the bucket to regulate temps.
Hopefully you have an airline tube flow adjuster like we use for drip acclimation.
You can just refill the bucket as needed.
I would let it flow aggressively while you are awake and then as you are gonna try and rest slow it a bit to last longer.
Even better would be having several of these drip buckets in a couple spots.
The higher the drip from the surface of the water the better for more airation surface agitation.
This is similar to the cup method without having to be there the entire time scooping!
