the Noma is very expensive for what your getting.  
  
find a used RV place and get a used converter, or buy a nice 3 stage digital battery charger for 40 bucks, about 30 bucks. then buy a inverter the size you want/need to power what you want. next go buy two 6V deep cycle batteries like the trojen T100's this will give you about twice the power storage as a Noma for about the same price. then you just make it look pretty if you care. 
  
I sold my set up a few years ago, but I had 2 of my tunze, My two VHO actinic lights, recirc pump and skimmer pump and a heater on it and I went 8 hours and only drained them 1/2 way.
