Just got an APC battery backup for a 40 gal cube. I would love to hear what people choose to run on backup power. Right now I'm thinking water turnover/circulation is critical so wave makers or return pump are at the top of the list. What else is on the must run list?

When my EB8 is plugged into my 750va battery backup it will alarm that it is overloaded (lights, pump, skimmer, heater). All I want the back up to run in an outage situation is my return pump. I have power monitor turned on and the apex is set to shut everything off except the pump. If I get...
