Backup Power

Good day to ask what everyone uses for back up? Expecting 2 feet of snow here

Power went out last night tank dropped to 72°. Just got my tank and fridge hooked up to a generator.

I’m only worried about keeping the return pump and heater on. The lights and everything else are not a necessity. Hope the power comes back soon. All is good and no need to panic 🙂

Tanks have been on life support now 11 hours :/

What is everyone doing for backup power? I have a generator for when I'm here to hook up, but what is everyone doing if your not home? If I'm at work and the power goes out to get me until I get home. I was looking at the eco flow Delta 2 to run my return pump and heater. Will the Delta 2 automatically switch to battery if power goes out? My tank is only 20 gallons so it looses heat fast.

Lots of changes. Went through temperature spike and stressed my SPS and fishes. Backup temp control with cooling fan added. Firefish didn’t survive and was replaced. Corals are on their way back from the dead. Added bunch of new corals since. Now well into ugly stage.

Haven’t had time to update, but yesterday had a power outage for a couple hours😅 fed everyone did all tasks everything is looking great 💯

Moving My Reef Tank in FREEZING Weather

Powers been flickering all day due to snow storm, if the power goes out how can I keep my tank heated?

In light of a recent post I saw where someone’s heater cooked the tank, I wanted to share some preventative measures I’ve taken and may help others.

Smart thermometer to see temp anywhere and kasa smart plugs to remote turn on/off allows me to turn this off as soon as the tank gets out of my “normal”
