I went to a generator after we had a 16 hour power outage. That was 10 years ago and haven't had a power outage since. KNOCK ON WOOD!!!

if I am home.. the 4Runner has a 120 outlet.. I have ran the entire system off it no problem.

If I am not home, well hopefully not more than a couple hours.

Generator here. That thing is powerful, 4.5 HP I bought it new and cheap from someone that needed some quick cash. I think its worth it to have some of those when you have a lot of $$$$ invested in fish and corals. You never know when one of those long outages are gonna hit. Here in Calgary we don't have that many power outages at least in the area where I live but like I said before, you never know. Better safe that sorry.
