An inexpensive battery-backup option that works quite nicely: the 'mini UPS'
Having got my tank to a state where I'd be upset to lose its inhabitants, I went looking for a battery backup option.

For instance, I use a Reef Octopus Regal 200SSS, which uses a VarioS-4S, which is the same pump as the VarioS-4, but with a different impeller. I can either buy an extra pump...- DiZASTiX
