For that price I would just buy a used Honda Generator. Atleast then you are set for a while plus the honda ones are nice and quiet.. so not so bad.. tho that does look nice.

i got 5 hours out of a cheap 3min computer back up runnign just airstones and hot water bags the cheaper version of that one (last 12 hours - running a fridge) will probably last like 24 running a powerhead or practicaly forever with a air pump (unless i'm wrong about air pumps barrly using any power ?)

Yeah, there's a cheaper version of the same thing for just under $200. I've actually seen it on special a couple times for even a little cheaper. Could probably run a couple of powerhead or even an efficient return pump for days. But I'd probably want to hook up the fridge to it as well since there's nothing else to do during a power outage other than to sit around drinking beer. =)
