Cheap Power Backup

[Paverdude]

I have a 7500 watt that starts whenever the power goes out (happens lots in the country)

Paverdude, any more details for us?

or for 10k cheaper you could drag your ass out to the porch and start the generator and haul the extention cord inside.

That is if you are home when it happens. I would eventually like a backup so I know my reef stays alive when I am gone for two weeks. Or even a weekend. Without water circulation and heaters for a weekend you are screwed.

It's a big Deisol unit inside a out bulding i had it installed

when a power failure is detedted it disconects my house from the grid and fires up, when it sences the power is back on it shuts down and reconects to the grid
