    I have one of these Air tanks and a Foot operated air pump like this one. I used some 1/4" nylon tubing and Valve and fittings, put this on it and hooked two 2" air stones like these to it.

    When not in use I keep it filled up to 90Lbs using my air compressor, when the power goes out I drop an air stone in each end of the tank and turn on the air. this lasts for about 30 minutes at which time I hook up the foot pump and refill it.

    I just bought a 12 volt air pump I can plug into my to use to refill it but you would be surprise how fast that little foot pump can fill that tank up.
