Default Blackout!!!

Who else got hit by the blackout today??? I'm in south van, and my wife called me this morning around 11am (I had school today!). Lasted until 4PM!

I had a bit of a flood, because my sump couldnt handle the water skimmed from the display tank. Got my wife to use the turkey baster to create 'some' flow on the SPS. Luckily I do have a battery air pump, that kicked in when the power went out, so the fish were ok.

So what are some backup battery options? I dont think the APC UPS computer backups will work, since they're designed to last for only about 30mins (plus they're expensive!).

I saw the Motomaster Eliminator 1,200A PowerBox (Product# 11-1815-0). Does anyone know if this can be setup as an auto backup power supply?
