Nashua, no power since 5 PM yesterday. Also hoping the fish tank holds out. :-(

We've got a 55 gallon, I've layered numerous blankets on it so it can retain heat - my bf thinks I'm crazy haha

Congrats! That’s a relief. Glad the fish made it.

Unfortunately, you're not crazy. My furnace broke in February, and unfortunately I didn't realize until the next morning that the tension rods-held shelf in the tank stand collapsing earlier that week had unplugged the tank heater. Just having no heat for 24ish hours killed 1/2 of my tropical fish.

I'm rooting for your fish pulling through

if you have hand warmers you can put a few in a ziplock bag (probably double or triple bag it) rinse the outside of the bag and drop it in for a few hours. I think Petsmart is open you can get a little thermometer for like $2.99 that will sit on the glass inside the tank
