What size unit did you get?...and, what is the wattage of the pump you are running on it?

Thanx much,

Thanx much,

The Noma is the 400W model. The pump is buried in my all-in-one Cad Lights unit so I cannot actually see what the rating is but I am guessing 28W.

Warning label on my new duel Galaxy ballast. Do not use with generators. Although I would not be firing lights in a generator/power outage situation anyways.

I still just use my inverter. However its not auto, so need to be home for the power failure. When I had my large system, the inverter powered a small pump in my sump, feeding the turf scrubber, which dumped a surge in the tank. I also had a woodstove, which kept things warm.

I would guess thats my biggest problem now, is trying to keep the tank warm, with the power a heater takes.
