Want to find a battery backup to have in case of power outage. I already miss my tank....

Lenny · May 4, 2011

Sorry to hear about your losses! As for a battery backup, I would recommend having some of the battery powered Air Pumps, item # CD-960169 only $4.99 at Foster & Smiths. They take 2 D batteries and run for hours. I had one run for nearly 12 hours. All reefers should have at least one per tank. The other option is getting a computer battery back up battery at Staples and use that for heating and a air pump. If you run your main pump on it, the battery will not last long.

Thanks so much that sounds like the low cost solution i am looking for!

We only had mininiumal losses from lack of light and lower circulation.All my power heads got fried so waiting on some new ones now.I did have some back ups so I do have some circulation.My blue jaw trigger jumped out of the tank last night for some reason.

Sorry for your loss. It's a lot of work to reset your tank, but it can be fun to do a make-over.

Avis · May 10, 2011

I hope to rebuild at the shop tank eventually. Gonna really miss Coral Reef Aquatics, learned a lot, bought a lot and will miss them lots....
