How many VA is your UPS? Yea I won't be running a heater just going to use one single jerbow rw25 power head on it. Should be enough to keep my 110 fully stocked tank alive.

I was also thinking about getting the automatic battery powered air pump that kicks on by itself when power is lost. Much cheaper route but UPS is good too cuz I can plug other things in it in case of emergency. Maybe I should use both UPS with power head and the air pump or will that be overkill?
