![]() Using a 800W PA generator.
More than enough to power my basement return pump for aeration/circulation (Iwaki drawing 262w and pushing 1000gph) and a heater. Have tested without problems. The fish and corals will go without the MHs and will just have to pretend there's a storm and rely on light through the windows. |

![]() I have the same gen as Mark. It's still in the box but at least it's in the garage. I can't remember the last time we lost power for more than a few minutes, but it was cheap and you never know.

![]() I currently have two battery back ups on hand in case of anything happening, but I found out they only lasted me a maximum of an hour and a half this past summer. Granted I was running my chiller for a bit after my pre-made ice & cooler packs ran out, so I'm sure it plays a role. It took them a day and a half to get the power back on here that particular evening.
Apartment living isn't all that condusive to tank back up options. I'm sure my next house will have a generator to combat this potential situation. |

![]() I bought this generator in the summer
http://www.canadiantire.ca/browse/pr...romSearch=true Has a true sine wave inverter on it so I can run absolutely anything from powerheads to heaters to halides. |
