Back up power

[hpoolreefer]

not finished yet needs another light adding ect
Good evening I’m new to posting on here so bare with me so here goes

I’ve just set up a 6ft D&D reef pro moveing all the contents over from my D&D 4ft both sps dominated my tank is at work in my office and in the winter we do get 1 or 2 power cuts so I want to get some back up power in case

Room is not an issue Ide like to go down the route of a battery back up rither than a generator

Ide like to run at least x2 mp40’s and a return pump

And I was thinking maby a second battery to keep x1 heater going cause it can get either cold down there in winter

Any help / advice would be greatly appreciated

I have an APC smart 1500. Works great but my system is smaller and i have everything plugged in for short outages.

A battery back up is a good idea. I use a "portable power station" type. They're usually designed to be recharged by AC or solar, which I like.

What specifically would you like advice on?

Batteries driving a heater will not last long.
