I am starting a new Biocube 32 reef tank, but I live in Maine and often experience power outages. These often last 2-3 days and every few years we get some that last a week or more. Last year I lost power for 7 days, had it back for 1 and lost it again for another 2 days due to bad snow and ice storms. I put in a generator this summer, but I won’t be able to run it 24/7 during extended power outages like that.
What should I get to keep my reef happy and healthy during long power outages?
My guess is a UPS of some sort, but is there a specific brand/size people would recommend? Or is it more advisable to try and build my own? What equipment should I have it power to keep them as safe as possible? Thanks for any help/advice you can give me.
