Other option is a clean whisk from the kitchen and whip it up like pancake batter. But in the future get a battery airstone. If you leave in tank and plug into outlet, they come on when power goes off. Fairly inexpensive option.

Something to consider is UPS style generator that auto turns on when it goes out and you’re not home. Some of those big battery generators have options to plug into an outlet and come on like a UPS or as a standby just a bit later.This is the EXACT reason why my next big-ish purchase is going to be a smaller dedicated generator that I can keep on my back covered porch. Just outside the window near my tank. I’m also going to purchase a Window unit for the window near the tank as well. In the event of an extended power outage in the summer. It should be enough to keep the room cool enough to not overheat the tank and the tank will be running as well.
For the winter outage I’ll just have to have and extra oversized heater to throw in there or something. Our winters aren’t too bad down here. But every now and then a beast of a winter storm comes through and we get it rough for a little while.
In a year or two I’m going to be installing a whole home generator and I won’t have to worry about it again
We just went through a 4day power outage. I was lucky enough to get a generator but when I was at work, these little battery packs saved my guys.These are great for times like this. It's a portable aerator pump box that runs on D batteries. It clips on the side of a bucket to keep fishing bait alive. They're very cheap and Walmart has them. I'm pulling for your critters!!
