That's actually a lot of power for a long time. You'll need UPS in the $600 category for that. Most UPS manufactures will have a selection tool on their website that will help you pick the right one.

Sorry I couldn't suggest one specifically, but my backup needs are much more modest....couple hours tops.

You might consider using a air pump for emergency aeration and water movement. They use less power.

says 25 watts each. would like them to run for about 6 hours

how big is your tank? unless really large you really shouldn't need 3 mj's going. you really just a want a smaller powerhead to create surface agitation to keep up the O2 levels in the tank.
