Sorry if this has been discussed before.
I'm wondering what you are using as your tank's Emergency Backup power in case of no electricity (as we have quite a few this year). I currently have none and would like to get some equipment for that. Since reef tank is a huge investment, a total loss would force the reefer to get out of hobby.
I like the new Vortech with the battery backup unit, but it's hard to plunge ~$500 on the equipment.
Are APC Backup unit a good choice? I am only planning to backup the powerhead/pump. I figure with a total loss of electricity of 5 hours, I would rather have the powerhead running during those times instead of the skimmer, heater, and lighting. If I'm wrong, please correct me ;D
Please do share your suggestion and opinion. Many thanks in advance
