Power source?

I don't have the tank or any of the equipment yet, I'm waiting until I actually move in to pick it up from the guy so I don't know what the average wattage is for that kind of stuff. And wooow, that one is a lot cheaper than the one I was looking at. I'm liking it a lot haha.

You could do a whole 150g for under a 1000w. So any small gen would be good. If the power goes down and your not home you are S.O.L..

Well I won't be living alone so I'll train my roommate to do it as well.

The 2 stroke generator is a joke. Those are always peak ratings and youd have to fill it of and on all night. The bigger one will run tanks and a electric oil heater

Ha! Might be a little over kill for a 150g, but they'll have power for the whole house. I like you thinking

Why should the fish by the only comfortable ones during an outage?

UPS batteries from Best Buy for up to a couple of hours. 5 kW Subaru generator for longer (Irene, Sandy)

I personally have this one

http://www.harborfreight.com/engine...ng-watts-65-hp-212cc-generator-epa-69676.html

And aside from the difficulty of filling the crankcase with oil initially ( two people and a flexible funnel )and the gas on off valve being labled backward, it can be had for less than $300 on sale often.

Turn the gas on , switch on, and one crank mine starts. i was impressed.
