Do come in so so handy, we have Battery back up also, but dropped power for 6 hours today due to a massive storm, fired up the small generator and got everything going, worked a treat, lifesaver

We had just a 90 minute outage in MN last weekend. I dug our my small Powerhorse generator from Northern Tool right away. It has saved my tanks from cold temps and lack of circulation/oxygen 4 times now. Powerful enough to run my return pumps and heaters. I wouldn’t go without having one on hand.

its amazing how much money people invest in their hobby but dont have one of these on hand, wouldnt go without one
 
Learned that lesson the hard way once. Lost power for 24 hours. Bought a generator that will run everything in my tank, plus the TV and beer cooler in my man cave. :)
 
A backup power plan should be part of every reef setup.

Yes indeed! Get one before the power goes out though - trying to find/buy a generator after the power has gone out is not a pleasant experience.
