Something we would all loathe to face but can be a reality sometimes.

Check out this article (http://www.petfrd.com/sections.php?op=viewarticle&artid=25) on some ideas on how to cope in case of such an event.

How much will APC UPS cost? Up to how many watts can it support?

If it is cheaper than buying many ACDC airpumps, then why not.

As a rough gauge , got many models , too many to list.

The APC Back-UPS 650VA
Part Number : BK650MI

Output power capacity 650 VA
Output power capacity 400 Watts
Nominal output voltage 230 V

Typical backup time at half load
15.4 minutes (200 Watts)

Already costs $180.....

actually 15 minutes not much of use. ACDC pump can last about 8 hours.

Oh 15 mins is just the minimum...the lowest end model.
Just a matter of how much money you can afford to burn :)

Have come across UPS that can protect a whole network of data servers.....of cos you must either be crazy to get that or just too rich and too much money to spend LOL :D
