So, my tank is in Northern California home to earthquakes, wild fires and energy company that’s expensive, mostly dependable (unless it’s hot and there’s a wildfire).
I have eco tech battery for my two MP10QD that’s will run two for 36 hours. So basic circulation is OK
And I have APC Pro 1000 which is 600 watt (has two 12AH AGM batteries) which yields 24 AH and at my 25 G nano load of 243W would last according to display 19min. This is fine for protecting sensitive electronic devices from surges and momentary outages but not multi hour let alone multi day.
So what to do in event of multi hour or day?
1000 W gas powered inverters will run at half load for 4.8 hours per 1.18G of gas.
I could add solar cell charge 100AH RV batteries but one would only last 1.3 hours at my load so would need a bank of them to last until sun comes up next day.
What did you do or what would you do to prepare for multi hour / multi day outage of your coveted reef tank? Separately I have probably spent at least $5k on my current nano not including time and really want to edge on the side of caution and be prepared for outage.
TIA Scott
