Reading all these post worries me lol. I work at a hospital so during the hurricane I'm forced to work 24-72 hours until the all clear is given. And nobody will be at my home at the time..

That's what I have a marine deep cycle batt with a inverter works great.You could just use a battery and an inverter. Worst case get a deep cycle battery that has more amps.
Doesn't take up that much space.
I live in a condo and battery pack work good enough to run just what you need ( heater and a pump)
It's a Honda EU2200, with a Hutch Mountain conversion kit that allows it to run on gasoline, propane, or natural gas.Would you kindly explain what this is? It seems to be a propane-based generator?
It's just a marine deep cycle battery with a power inverter attached to it. The inverter only has 2 plugs on it. I just call it a battery pack. I believe it is a 2000w inverter which turns DC power in to AC power.What kind of battery packs? Lithium usb, the kind used to charge a phone?
Good afternoon everyone, I wanted to make this thread to give myself and others who live in Florida and other outlying states who are affected by hurricanes and other storms which can leave us without power for days to weeks at a time. I am still newish to the hobby and I haven't had my tank up and running long so I haven't experienced a power outage lasting longer than a few minutes while the tank has been up and running. Anyone who has a good plan of action that will work on the smallest to largest sizes of tanks. I myself have a 25gal lagoon. I already have a bubble box and extra batteries, and frozen bottles of water to help oxygen levels and water temp. Any other tips or tricks to help your aquarium survive is greatly appreciated. Also I understand a generator is the best option probably, but I live in an apartment and don't have storage space for one. Thank you to all who post and happy reefing everyone, stay safe during this storm season.
Very good question and usually over looked. What i do is use a deep cycle Marine battery and a inverter hooked up to my DC powered return pump its will run for 3 or 4 days with no problem. No noise no gas. If power stays off for longer ill use a battery bubbler eventually i will buy a cheap harbor freight solor panel to keep battery charged...Good afternoon everyone, I wanted to make this thread to give myself and others who live in Florida and other outlying states who are affected by hurricanes and other storms which can leave us without power for days to weeks at a time.

Solar panel kit with a 12 volt battery and inverter. It charges the battery all day and runs your pump all night the panel can be put on a porch or by a window
Alot of the big box stores sell the single panel kits.Great Idea! Is there a specific one?
Hey neighbor!Got gas and generator and tons of beer....
I would say I am set!
Most apartments and condos have an outdoor closet on the balcony or patio... not all though. A little 2,500w--3,500w portable generator easily fits in a closet outside... along with 10g of gasoline to power it for a week. Won't stink up your house or cause a gas vapor explosion if it's in an outside closet. They're cheap at Lowes.Not many suggestions for people that live in Condos/Apartments...
