So the power has been off at the high school I teach at for the past 3 hours. I pulled out the Bluetti Power Station and the solar panel, and it's running the DC return pump on my classroom 175 reef with no problems. The pump draw is about half of the charging input, so the battery is charging while running the pump. It is a partly cloudy day in Miami, so there's that. Still, I am impressed with this little portable unit. It's under a grand on Amazon. The solar panels are extra, but in the next month or two, complete packages will go on sale at deep discounts.
