I was going thru our list of things to do for cyclone season. We have a large generator that is wired to the house and runs everything. But my chiller attached to the tank doesnt seem to like it.
When we had a large cyclone come thru about 2 years ago (Yasi for the Aussies) we were without mains and water for bit over a week. I have a 1000lt tank which we use as emergency water.
Now its the first season we have had with Pablo. his tank will bump up to 30+deg in an hour without a chiller. Which is set at 21deg. I have our spare fridge outside that only gets used for parties etc. If i turn the temp to the highest it will go would he be ok there for a week. (if the need arises) Icebricks dont last more than couple hours here. would he be ok with such a temp jump.
And would every second day be ok if we have water ration? My pets are my extra kids. All other animals we can organize and the geni runs all the filters sumps etc for my fish tanks so they are no worries. But the axie has his special needs. (cold water).
As stated just planning. Hopefully we go through this season with no dramas.
TIA for the advise.
