A few dollars in parts.. for worry free reefkeeping

I also use a smaller Eliminator Power Box, and a 300w Inverter that I used with my Deep Cell boat battery. I am pretty well prepared. So long as someone is home to connect stuff.

Chin, I will run a test and see how long it lasts. I meant to do that test a while ago but forgotten about it.

FYI, its not worth hooking up a heater, they will drain the battery quickly. The hot bags of water was perfect. Of course, I had a gas heater so.
Hi Chad
any update to this testing? that unit looks like a monster.
