ICECAP BATTERY BACKUP

 

In the event of a power outage, is your tank protected?

This product is for any serious aquarium hobbyist that wants to protect his or her investment in the case of a power outage. In 4 - 6 hours of no flow within an aquarium can can cause the death of valuable fish and corals. Extreme weather can strike at anytime, and we can’t always predict the outcome. By adding the an IceCap Battery Backup, your tank’s flow will continue for up to ~35 hours after the power goes out (~17 hours for two pumps). Add a second battery backup to double the run time.
