My aquarium is beside my workstation at work. Today we received an announcement that power to our building would be shut off for about 10 consecutive hours this weekend for maintenance. Is there anything I can do to minimize the effects of this outage on my aquarium?
It's very small, about 4.5 gal with an under-gravel filter and live plants. The only inhabitants are three 1"-long Zebra Danios (fat, sassy, and very active). The aquarium has been in operation for about three weeks and the Nitrate levels have been stable over the past four or five days at about 22. (I'm delighted.) I do a 25% water change every Monday.
Is there anything I can do before the wekend to minimize the effects of the power outage?

PS It occurs to me that I should also be asking if my little Danio Dudes can be expected to survive or not. Alas, taking them home with me is not an option. I don't have a home aquarium and will be out of town for the weekend.
