I had a power outage yesterday from thunderstorms here in NE Maryland. It lasted 6 hours, I have a 1000w 2-stroke generator that I used to power the following:
1 mag 12 return pump (110w)
1 aquabee NW from skimmer (20w)
2x6000 tunze and the controller 15wx2 = 30w
1 250w heater
1 ACIII with 2 DC8's (?w)
1 CF spiral fuge light (18w)
1 set of LED moonlights
About 500w total. This was night time so no tank light was needed, but if it was daytime it would also run my 2x96w antincs. I fired them up just to see if they would.
Amazingly enough, this was my first substantial power outage in 2 years. I was very impressed with this little guy, here is a link. For $189.00 you can not beat the protection. I don't know about this company it's just a website I found that had a pic.

I could not get my 2 Seio 820's to start on the generator, they just made an awful chattering sound, luckily the Tunze ran perfect. Anyone know why the Seio's would not start?
Thanks,
