 My apex would send an email & txt when communication is lost......
 Then I have T - however long to get my inverter running....
 
 I had the power go out like 3 years ago for 4 or 5 hours and everything was fine (I was on vacation when it happened and my tank sitter was unaware).  I think it depends on a few factors.....
 
 Number and size of fish, volume of water & outside / room temp.....   As well have a back flow / check valve so your tank doesn't all run into a sump that can't handle the increased volume.
