GENERATORS ARE KING but if you don't have one or can't have one then a battery backup is the next best thing.
It's always a good time to have a battery backup for your aquarium that could run a few key pieces of equipment during a power outage but which ones are the best?
Power outages are going to happen, and unless you have a generator as a backup, the next best thing is a battery backup for your pumps and powerheads. In just a little time without power dissolved oxygen levels start to deplete, which can result in livestock loss. Keeping water moving and encouraging gas exchange at the surface of the aquarium, you can buy yourself valuable time while waiting for restoration of power. But which batter backup are best and which one should you have for your pumps? Let's discuss it today by polling the community!
1. What is the BEST battery back up to have for your aquarium?
2. Do you have a battery backup just in case you lose power and what brand and model is it?
