Hello I have a 29 gallon biocube and wanted to know the best small generator I could hook up to it in the event of a power outage. Thank you!

I am wondering if anyone has used a power inverter to run their tank in a power outage. I am in an area where I can not have a generator and to be perfectly honest I couldn't afford one if my community aloud it. I was thinking of getting a 500w inverter to run my circulation pumps, a 150w...

Okay so my power was shut off . How long can the tank go without filtration and lights if I get a battery powered pump? I've been stirring up the water every once and a while to try and aerate the water.

Have enough gas for 3 days. Thank God for my generator. :thumbup:

This past weekend I found a new LFS and found the clowns I've been looking for! Woo Hoo! But then I come home to a note from the electric company saying they're doing routine maintenance next sat and my power will be out for 9 hours!:help: I mean I know that when suppliers ship fish they get...

Now that winters here I think its time to finally buy a generator since we often lose power with ice storms. So to power my 220g reef tank what size generator do i get? would the 2,000 watt be too little? or would i need the 5,000 watt? what i have running 4x96 pc light w/fans 400 watt heater...
