These are used to backup the computers and equipment in the lab at work.
What size APC-UPS would you recommend to run an Infinia 150 (109g display, 40g sump) I guess it would need to power a heater, return pump, and wavemaker.
Honestly, as big as you can justify. You only need to keep a fan or heater and flow going. Everything else is secondary. But the more juice you have, the better off you are going to be for a longer amount of time.
 
What a s#!t product! I spent $319 on this brick then had to buy adapter for the Maxspect Gyer. The charger died on me at the beginning of its use unbeknown to me and the battery was dead within probably the first 5 months. CoralVue Warranty is a load of crap that takes place from date of sale so if you have a long postage, nearly 2 months in my case as it had to be re-ordered you automatically losing that two months of your warranty. International returns from Australia at your own cost for them to look at it is horrendous. Stay away from this battery backup its just not worth it.
