gizmoody January 27, 2011 January 27, 2011 There has been no electricity in my area in Rockville for the past two hours. I don't have any backup plan but will have to wait it out and hope for the best. Thought I had more time to figure out a backup plan (5 month old tank). Anyone solarize their house with marine batteries as storage? That seems like a better backup than a generator and greener, not that a conventional home reef is green energy-wise. If you have, please let me know. Your thoughts and evaluation of your system would be really helpful.
