Well it's been about a month since I had the generator running so I am going to start it up this afternoon after my first aid course. I'm going to put some fuel stabilizer in it also.

I've had my Reef go for 8 hours with no power, and no problems. That was the longest power outage I've ever experienced, so I'm not too worried about alternate power.

to answer the question.. if you get a inverter generator that uses a true sinewave inverter you can run anything and it will work properly, but they are a little more expensive, but hell whats 600 to 1000 bucks compared to all the money we have spend to rock, coral, fish, ect... Steve

Convinced Wife
Convinced wife that we need a generator, so we are looking now. Told her it was to keep freezer going.If I said fish tanks she would have laughed and said "No Way" Thinks I spend too much already on my addiction.
Ok I need some advise now as I am still learning about web site. How do I start a new thread or post? Oh yeah , What does "bump" mean? Dont want to sound stupid bit never heard that before. Thanks..Darryl |
