Yes I have a 4000 watt generator and I do start it at least twice a year. Works great but would like to get a newer and larger one to handle more then my fish tank if the power goes out. I was looking at the Westinghouse 10,000 watt unit. Has alot of really good features and the price point is not that bad. My wife would appreciate a bigger generator also. We have 3 refrigerators w freezers full of food. God help us we lose power and my tank is happy but we lose a bunch of food.With so many major winter storms popping up lately there has been a lot of discussion on preparing for power outages and having power back up plans! So let's talk about generators today and see who's ready and what generator your using!
1. Do you have a generator for your reef tank for emergency situations?
2. Which generator do you have and how many watts is it?
3. Do you regularly start and service your generator to keep it ready to go?
