While I do not expect my power to go off on a regular basis I feel as a Reef Keeper with an investment of 1000's you must have some kind of back up plan. I looked into the Battery Back Up idea and the Canadian Tire Power Kits and my major concern was as always with batteries they are dead or dying when you need them ( 3 years later). I looked into the Honda and Yamaha generators and they are very expensive $1000 to $3000. I saw an ad for the Army & Navy and they had a gas generator made in China 950W for $169. I to a look at my circulation pump an AMP Master 3000 and it only uses 143W through in a 250W heater and this should do the job. I can also use it when I go camping. Is this the answer to my DISASTER PLAN I don't know, but it is certainly a start.
