Default Backup for power failure

I've heard that these pumps are a good investment for power outages
(which we frequently have in my locale).

The book that I'm reading implies that with a tall tank (like mine) and
lots of live rock (like mine), that the fishes could suffocate fairly
quickly.

Any comments?

Best way to go, if you can afford it, IMO:

Gives ya about 4 1/2 days for a couple powerheads plus an decent air
pump. better yet, just keep your skimmer running.
