During the same time our pipes froze but my fish were fine.

Generators are great, but what if you are not home or on holiday?

IT must have a bigger battery than I thought then, maybe not a bad deal. How many watts is your heater?

75w heating ~25G of water. That small of a volume will cool rather rapidly.

I have the 1800w version of that Noma battery back-up and it runs my 800gpm emergency pump for 18-20 hours.
