hurricane
I use ice all the time in my tank with no major temp swings, of course my tank is quite large. I do not think one or two ice packs wll cause a very large swing and could save your tank. And yes, I am in the market for a chiller, just saving my pennies.
I am going to look at generators today at home depot. I do not want to have to start over.
I also have too many critters to evacuate, and will need to take care of all of them, so will have to start stocking up on water and non perishables. No sense in waiting for the worst to happen and then wish I had.
