Tunze Battery Back up

[RonsterNYC]

Hello. I have 2 6100's running with a 7095 on my 120g reef tank. With summer coming and possible brown-outs in the area - does anyone know of a battery back up that could be used to plug in my tunze's in case I lose power? I am looking for something that could preferrably run for 6 to 8 hrs. Thanks.

Just go to any electronics store and buy a back up that can run a computer and monitor for about 1hr, a computer and monitor usually uses about 300W. The pump uses 45w so it should last roughly 6 times as long.

Sweet, I was wondering the same, thanks Roger.

I have a computer UPS for mine, I run 1 of my 6100 stream on it, I lost power last year and the stream ran for a good 6 hours on the battery backup.
