I’m currently running the current USA loop system on my 65 gallon tank. I have a cyber power back up used to back up computers. It has 2 12 volt 9 amp batteries. What I was thinking of doing is plugging in my controller and the return pump. Not my lights or flow pumps. In the case of a power outage my return pump would continue to cycle my aquarium. Does anyone know if this could work?

BRS did a review of this.
You can find it on You Tube.
Thank you for your advice. I watched the videos on YouTube hooked up a wave pump separate from my loop system. In the case of a power outage I should have at least 5 hour back up. I might do something different down the road. My backup was free. Thanks for your help
