As posted elsewhere, I'm hooked after 6 weeks of setting up a little 29gal. I'm thinking of going to a 55gal w/20gal sump, and would like to get all the details worked out before investing.
I've been noticing a lot of posts regarding power loss, and was wondering if no one uses UPS's on the hardware? Call me a crazy network guy, but I have a UPS at home that pages me when the power shuts off. It gives my home network about 30 min power and cleanly shuts down unnecessary systems.
The plan for the display tank to-be is redundant pumps, redundant heaters, single set of lights. The pumps and heaters will be on separate UPS's (but unfortunately the same circuit). Lights would be in the shutdown list in event of power loss. I will have to watch out for salt on the batteries, but other than that it seems like a pretty logical solution, right?
