Grabed some black zoas yesterday

Yeah, if the wind blows the wrong way, the damn power goes out here. I was under the impression most UPSs were good for a few minutes. Do you have a link to yours?

Well, it depends on how many watts your equipment uses. My two power heads use a total of 16w.

How many watts do your powerheads/return pump use?

 

[phurst]

65w for may Mag 7 return.

No powerheads?

Yes, two koralia 4s, but in an emergency, I'll be happy to just have my return running.

I would go to a large office store, tell them you want to run 65 watts for x amount of hours, and they should be able to help you, as they did I. I spend around $140 for mine. Depending on how long you want to run the return pump, you may be spending upwards of $200+ for yours.

Hmm, worth looking into. Seems like a small price to pay for some security.

Absolutely.
