Power outages
« on: July 25, 2015, 02:14:59 PM »
DTE is turning off our power for fifteen minutes to replace the meter but they can't say exactly when. Will this screw up my canister filter (fluval 206) and how can i prevent a disaster?

It shouldn't cause an issue provided that your canister filter can hold it's syphon (no air leaks).

Why not go test it right now? Unplug it, wait a minute, and then plug it back in.  ;)
