2 hours power disruption can be easily resolved by dropping in an airline or two powered by a battery operated pump.

You only need to have someone around to put it in when the power go off

Hi Bro

Battery operated pump can be purchase in any fish tackle shops. Beach road (arab Street) have plenty. Less then 1 red note for 1.

i had that power-cut too, i think what's important is making sure ur return pump doesn't do a "back-flow", which means back flowing ur tank water back to the sump tank thru ur return pipe..

u might end up with a overflowing sump, or a half full main tank depending on the level of ur return pipe.. need to take preventive measures like "hole at the return pipe" or the valve method..

hope that adds my 2 cents..
