ok, if i do this, then a problem will be heat, cause my 300wtt heater is too
much for inverter/battery supply i think. but i may have a 100watt heater.
r u guys suggesting ac or dc heater? i only know of ac heaters. on the
pump, i have ac also, i guess i could get all this hooked up to my intverter
and see what happens, without the sump pumps rolling like last time i tried
it may be alot more effieient. thanks again for the advice.

I will be transporting my reef, for the most part its just rock with
alot of
decent life on more than half of them. i will be using a 20ft livein
trailer
type and make a one way travel-journey up north from southern california
with a 60 gal reef that needs to run off inverters. 300 watt heater will
kill the bateries in no time. how cold can i let these things get?


Heat Packs may help a little, but that is a long and potentially cold
trip.

If it were me, I would hook up the inverter to your tow vehicle while
traveling... This will keep things charged up. If you use decent
wire (12 guage or so for a long run), you should be able to keep
enough juice pumping into your batteries to keep things going.

Wrap some good insulation around everything to minimize heat loss...
