We lost power last night for 10-15 min. So far so good. I have a tiny 1500W generator that should run my main pump and 1 heater so I should be ok....

My car power inverter is only 400W and I figure my Reeflo hammerhead takes almost all of that and all my heaters are 300W each.
Last week we actually had a huge building fire just down the block that knocked out my power for almost 9 hrs. Every hour or so, I'd siphon 5 gal of water out of my basement sump and dump it into each of my 2 tanks upstairs. I had the wood stove going down in the basement so it was nice and toasty in the house. By the time the power came back on, tank was down to about 75 degrees from 79. But everything was still swimming and coming out by morning. I ran to my buddies house at 7 am to grab his generator, got it home, started 'er up, ran my cord and plugged in my pump. I kid you not, before the siphon caught in my herbie, the power came back on... grrrrrrrr. LOL
