I bought a battery back up that switches on when the power goes out so if I'm not hm it will still turn on, it will keep a single powerhead on for long long time esp the low watt units. Then for extra back up I have a generator.
Bahahaha. Who needs powerheads when you can use a paint mixer!

And then the builds appear for whirlpool tanks....
