power backup

I am currently under a tornado watch, first one of the season, and realized I am not prepared for a power outage when it comes to my tank. I seen post talking about backup generators, people put Hot Hands in ziplock bags and put it in the tank, putting blankets on top of and around the tank. The...

Of all the emergency equipments, powerbackup is most important (as per what I have read) - so would love to hear what power backup options do you have or plan to have. I have this UPS connected and gives me 75 minutes for 2 return pumps and 2 dozers I also have 2 battery backups (bought when I...

I am in Florida and we are about to get hit with a hurricane. This is my first hurricane season with a reef tank. In the past, I've kept freshwater tanks. Those just required a battery powered air pump with an airstone (which i think i still have somewhere), and sometimes a heater. What can I do...

You may or may not have seen in the news recently about a windstorm that left 200k homes in the Seattle Metro area without power. Well, mine was one of those households. To make matters worse - I was out of town that weekend and the tank was left unattended. Luckily I was able to get ahold of a...

Hello all, I have a 220 gallon saltwater tank with a 40 gallon sump. How do I know how much flow I need in the event of a power outage? I see most reefers have battery backups for their power heads to run 8-10 hours off of. I have 2 MP40s in my tank. Do I need battery backups for both? Just...

95% of my devices run off DC power at a few common voltages. I've been thinking that I could get together a marine battery, some DC/DC power supplies, and power my pumps & powerheads off battery-backup backed DC power which will simply keep operating in the event of a power failure. IP67 DC/DC...

I have 5 brand new in the box APC 600VA UPS battery backups. I use these on my reef for temporary power outages. I got a great deal on them so passing it on to my fellow reefers. $50 each shipped in the lower 48. These are $65 on Amazon It will keep a 40w pump running for over an hour...

Here is the story of how I prevented my reef tank from crashing during the TX winter storm a few weeks ago. It was truly a miracle that I managed to have such few losses considering what happened. This storm was completely unprecedented and there was really no way we Texans could’ve anticipated...

So, I live in SoCal and we're susceptible to power outages in the summertime. I looked into getting solar, but it won't work where we live, so I'm looking into battery backups along with a generator. Also, side note: We live in a condo. Here's what I'm definitely wanting to run in case there's...

Had a power outage the other night after a rain storm and massive snow melt. Could have been from an underground ballast somewhere blew, (neighbor's hypothesis). I bought a generator several years ago and never used it other than starting it once to see if it worked. Good thing I had it...
