| Re: Automatic Power backup
Great Info Witty.....Thurs. May 11 we started have power problems in the valley I live in, I was at work and the power would shut down for an hour then come back on for two and then back off....I took off work to monitor my tanks (75 gal and 5 gal nano) the next day the power situation got worst, at 11 am the power went out and stayed off for over eight hours, by chance a few weeks before, I had bought a 3.5Kw gas powered generator, this thing has 120V and 220V both at 20A on board, I also had a couple of jerry cans of fuel....I was able to keep both tanks circulating and my air conditioner on to keep the temp. down......I found out yesterday that my LFS was totally desimated, they did not have any power back up and lost all thier fresh and salt water animals (fish and corals).....Man do I feel lucky, just a few short weeks ago I had nothing in case of an emergancy.
