Great points. I use a power bank as well and had to use it only once so far. It powered 4 tanks to run air stones wave makers and ran for about 13 hrs so for sure I love it

I have enough sponge filters with Aquarium Coop air pumps for my tanks now, but I am saving for a big power bank in the future.

I use rechargeable airpumps here in South Africa. We get load shedding so at times they switch our power off from 2 - 4 hours at a time. This could happen mutiple times a day. I run a generator for extended power outages more than 12 hours. Those battery banks ups systems are really expensive here in South Africa.

Definitely a wise investment, I live in California so there are always blackouts, I pickup up a dual fuel generator for the home and aquariums,

Troy, On all my tanks I have the USB Battery backup. I have at least one or two things feeding air into the aquarium and if the power goes out the pumps keep on going for 24 hrs or more. I got them all from Hygger and you can even set them to intermittent to help prolong the power if needed. I did this because we lost power for a while in California and i freaked out about OMG all my tanks have no air. Well I don't worry any more about it because of the battery backup pumps. I also have others that take D batteries that i can add if more air is needed on the tanks. but the usb powered battery backups work good and i have a few dual pumps and some single pumps. the heat thing though might mess up the tanks. Appreciate this video.

Lot of good information in this video, but I really wanted an update on the plywood aquarium.

I know it’s off topic but do you think a firemouth, Nicaraguan, electric blue acara, and a blood parrot would work well in a 75 gallon with some swordtails for dither fish?

@AntonioCastro-ws8uk 4 ай бұрын

Yes I lost a couple of nice fish in Philadelphia when the power went off now in have 10 battery powered air supply’s I haven’t lost any fish the last couple of years

May I suggest you look into getting the extra Solar Panel that usually is offered with these generators.....god forbid u have no power for extended time the panel is a continuous source of power.....I live on the East Coast where my power was knocked out for 8 days during Hurricane Sandy

Really considering that power bank. I figure if we, as hobbyists are willing to invest 1500-2 grand on an aquarium, what is 1500-2 grand for something that is going to help protect your investment.

@CichlidBros 20 күн бұрын

Yep! Especially if you use it for your home at times as well

@KathouQC 4 ай бұрын

I use a bluetti battery backup with a ups inside so it's a automatic power move and everybody is safe

That's nice to see, but what do you do if you're getting a power outage and you're not at home, for example on a vacation or just a weekend get away?

@CichlidBros 4 ай бұрын

I’d get the battery backup from aquarium co op. Turns on when power goes out

@joergmaass8589 4 ай бұрын

@@CichlidBros yes I can see that, what I'm talking about is the heater and the filter. How do they come on when the power goes out and you're not at home?
