Battery backup

[banditpowdercoat]

Just get a battery charger that will keep the battery up and allways run some pumps off the inverter. Thats a Bare bones UPS right there in itself

just spec for heater and aeration, having a system to support lights and skimmers and calcium reactors etc is something the fish/corals can live without for a bit.

Nice thing about a UPS is they're automatic if thinking about a longer outage can plug a cheap generator into the UPS for line conditioning if worried about the gensets output.
