So as my little journey with this aquarium begins, I started thinking about what equipment I needed to address various aspects of the build process. So obviously the first thing that I thought about was power. With the recent power outages my first thought was that I need something to not only protect the equipment by conditioning the power coming from the outlet but also give me some backup power in the event of a power failure. So I purchase an APC Battery Backup that covers both of my power concerns. The one unit gives me approximately just under 5 hours of power to the entire aquarium. That includes the canister filter, internal sump pump, 50 watt heater and the LED light. All I need to do is add additional units to form a bank of backup batteries by daisy chaining them together and I can extend the run time as much as I need.
