Backup battery inverter for my reef tank?

[kingkapoor]

I have a Waterbox 130 (holds about 110 gallons for me). I also just moved from Miami to Houston and experienced the massive power outage and bitter cold.
I want to make sure this never happens again. I am considering whole home generators but at the moment I dont know if such battery backups will be able to sustain as a (affordable) alternative.


I have
1 Aqueon 300 W heater
1 reef octopus protein skimmer
3 kessel lights (but these I will turn off since I do fish only, not coral)
1 AI Nero circ pump
1 Auto top off (which I can also turn off)
1 main pump

You wouldn't be able to run a heater for long enough to be helpful on a battery backup. It would probably be fine for an outage where heaters were not a necessity just to run the circulation pump. A small inverter generator would be better to if you need to run more than just circulation pumps like in the recent Texas outages.
