I have the same question but was thinking of running a mag pump of some sort and a couple of VHO's for about 3 or 4 hrs.

i went on apc's website and they had a calculator so you can see how long they will last under load the cheaper one's will last almost 1.5 hours at 50 watts i just need it to keep the water flowing around the tank
