Power Outage Alert for Aquariums
Protect your fish tank or reef system from sudden power cuts with PowerNotify — the smart USB device that sends instant email, SMS, or phone call alerts when power fails.
Why You Need It
A few hours without power can be deadly for aquariums. Filters, heaters, and air pumps stop working immediately, leaving fish and corals vulnerable. Oxygen levels fall, temperatures drift, and sensitive species can be lost before you even realise there’s a problem.
- Instant notifications when mains power fails
- Email, SMS, or voice call alerts available
- Compact USB design — plug into any spare USB port or adapter
- Easy setup via your home Wi-Fi and PowerNotify portal
- Multiple contacts supported (you, partner, or local fish sitter)
What Happens to Aquariums During a Power Cut?
When the power goes off, your aquarium life support stops at once. In heavily stocked or reef tanks, oxygen can drop quickly and temperature can fall several degrees in just a few hours — especially in unheated rooms or overnight. By the time you notice, it may already be too late.
With PowerNotify, you find out as soon as the power or internet goes down, so you can:
- Switch to a backup battery-powered air pump
- Add insulation or blankets around the tank to slow heat loss
- Arrange for a neighbour or friend to check on the tank
- Decide whether to relocate valuable livestock if the outage is prolonged
Ideal for
- Reef and marine tanks
- Freshwater community aquariums
- High-value breeding tanks or fish rooms
- Pond filtration systems and quarantine tanks

Does PowerNotify monitor temperature or water quality?
PowerNotify focuses on power and internet connectivity. Most aquarium emergencies start with a power cut — once you’re alerted, you can take steps to manage temperature and oxygen manually or with other monitoring tools.
Will it still alert me if my internet fails but power stays on?
Yes. If the device loses internet and can’t reach the cloud for your chosen alert window, it’s treated the same as a power loss and an alert is sent.
Can I use multiple devices for different tanks?
Absolutely. You can add as many devices as you need to your account and label them by tank or room, each with its own alert recipients.
