What do you think about having one of those pumps that automatically go on in case of power outage?

I am considering to get one like this:

Penn Plax Air-Pod Automatic Battery BACK-UP Air Pump.

A small generator would be nice. I know its a costly investment by compared to the time and money spent on tank its a small cost. I think most should factor that cost into the hobby.

A backup heat source can be just as important, or more important, if in you live in an area where cold weather can be an issue. It can be impossible to keep a tank above 65 degrees with our aquarium heaters if the room is more than 20 degrees below that. JMTC & GL!

Oh and I totally agree with the spelling, capitalization, and punctuation issues..
