EcoTech backup questions?
I've seen that the EcoTech has their backup battery for the MPs and the Radion, but it seems odd to me that they wouldn't have a heater that could keep the tank warm in the event of a power outage without looking at uninterruptable power supplies. I'm curious what people who've purchased the Radions and MP10s along with the EcoTech branded backup battery do to keep their tank heated during a power outage, I know flow and light are important, but I'd think temperature would be pretty important too.

300w of heating would suck the juice out of battery in no time. MP40s use about 10w when running on the b/u battery.
