Four hours you should be ok....Don't top up your tank from now until then. Then, saturday night, heat a large bucket of R/O water, or what ever you use for top ups. This water could be about 90 degrees.

Then when the power is out, you add a pitcher of the wram water about every 30 minutes. let the water trickle into the tank oxigenating the water. This will help with temperature drop, and with oxygen transfer in the tank.

You won't have a prblem with 4 hours. The only thing I really worry about is the temperature, as I have Tangs, and those buggers get ick real fast if the temp drops suddenly.

Don't sweat it....now you could rent or buy a gas generator and run it outside plugging in a powerhead and a heater. Big investment for only 4 hours though.

Keep in mind, that when you buy fish and corals, they spend 24+ hours ina bag.....I know you'll worry when the power is oof, so add a bottle of Vodka to the list.

4 hours shouldn't be a problem at all, along with Mouse's ideas you might look into 1 or 2 of those battery powered air bubblers just to keep the water moving for oxygen.
