Thanks everyone for all you replies.I have bookmarked the website that sells the Poret Filters let me ask where do you get the battery backup pump? I'm currently running a Fluval Q2 with standard airstones. I had thought og trying to get one of those APC battery backups like they use for computers I know it goes by size but how long will this battery operated airpump go without power?
TO ADD AIR OR NOT?

Mines somewhere from 12-24 hours. I've ran it all the way to 12 no prob. Depends on the wattage of ur pump. And my local lfs has old Penn plex double a battery powered air pump for 10$.

I use the airpod. Works fine plugged in then on battery when power goes out. The only negative is that it is a bit loud. I had to put it in a box to muffle the sound, but its not too loud. I have all of my other equipment running off of APC server batteries.
