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...



Is there any way you can get a small portable generator for the trailer.
Might just be handy for the time in the wilderness too.
