if you have a DC powerhead, just grab a batter backup from a computer store man. Worth the price of admission.

Gah I wanna upgrade to DC powerheads and battery backup but initial cost to get both is pretty significant. I think my wave box is DC. Been wanting to upgrade powerheads but maybe battery backup should come first after this experience.

Jebao with battery backup is pretty cheap compared. You can get a battery backup for $150 and grab the required size/amount of RW pumps.

I've been looking to get a pair of RW-8 actually! Just need to save up for a bit to afford them + battery. I still want to upgrade lights, skimmer, and get some reactors hooked up. Gah, lots of saving up to do.
