Default UPS ideas

Hi everyone I am looking for input into a backup power supply an what you would consider a minimum to keep runnning to support a tank.

I was away about 2 weeks ago and had a lenghty power outage (entire house) over 6 hours as best I can tell. the end result was my entire SPS wiped out, 1 clown, 1 coral beauty, both cleaner shrimp, lamarks angel,all three clamms, and mandarin goby all perished within 24 hours of this event.

Now the good news is it has motivated me to push my 180/80 gallon sump build ahead faster than planned and I have started to add water to it as of yesterday.
Soooo what would you use as an emergency power supply?

Hey and while your at it what would you have as your highlight fish in this tank...to go with all the new corals you could have?
