Beauty of my new tiny tank is I can run everything off the truck. Gas station is a 30 second walk with a can too =)

I use a Computer UPS for my tank. Run my return, top off and a couple power heads for about 6 - 8 hours. The only gripe i have is that the batteries only have a life of about 5 years, even if you never had a power outage.
