The ice storm that came thru friday, left us without power and running on the generator, we are still as of this post without power. This got me to thinking, I need to plan for some sort of backup power supply and redundant pumps and air supplies. I have a 30 amp automatic switch that I am going ot use to switch from line power to a battery backup using a 800 watt inverter I already own, should be plenty to run my 60 watt pump and my Tetra AP 300 air pump.

What is every one else doing or planning for backup?
