In a blackout bacteria in cannister filters will quickly suffocate and
rot.
Consider giving them a clean in water drawn from the aquarium and leaving
the filter media in wet in open buckets until you get power and can
re-pack and start the cannister filter.
==================
I use external Aquaclears and I do the same as I would with my old Fluval
canister. After 10 to 15 minutes if the power doesn't come back on I
remove the inserts and dump the sponges and bio-bead bags in a low pan of
tank water.

We have two battery powered aerators we use both for blackouts and when
delivering fish to stores.

I use them when bringing home species I have caught by rod and reel for my
aquariums.
One problem
have 20 going

but yea... emergency and all

I'm glad I don't have THAT worry. They brought fire-plugs to our area a few
years back. We even have a firehouse and fire truck way out here. It's all
volunteer. Everyone donates $$$ for the upkeep of the equipment. :-)
