Those battery air pumps are a great idea!
I also used automatic ones that switch over to battery power fails.
One other idea that we used in our LFS during the LA, CA rolling
blackouts was a RV battery (or two in parallel) with a Modified sine
wave inverter, this also ran our electronics during this time.
===================
That would be a ideal for a hobbyist with a load of tanks. We have the type
fishermen use to keep their bait alive. They run for a long time on batter
power. They cost around $5 each and have lasted for years.
