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.

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.
