Power outage

[Djzest909]

What's the best back up battery operated air pump for a 240 gal tank? And where can I purchase them at?

Instead of buying a battery-operated air pump you could buy a UPS and you can hook up whichever air pump you wish

Generator if you can afford a 240 you can afford a generator lol.
Not much comes to mind when dealing with big tanks someone has to have something figured out and will chime in

I even have all my filters on UPS.
I only fire up the generator for outages that exceed 2h. Most often, I can bridge the outage with just UPS. Besides, it kicks in even when I'm at work...

I bought one like this, but not that brand. you plug it in and when the AC goes off, the pump goes on.
