subject: Backup Power

RD}I've been scanning some of the messages about UPS's, and I'd like some 
help,
  }because I am thinking of getting one.  I noticed that some people were 
saying
  }that a computer UPS could not handle the strain of a fish tank.  This 
confuse
  }me.  I would have thought that my computer would draw siginificantly more
  }power than a heater and an air pump.  Also, I noticed that APC (the maker 
of
  }my computer UPS) was advertising in AQUARIUM FISH magazine.  Does anyone 
have
  }any experience with this brand on their fish tank?
I'm interested in hearing more about this.... right off hand, I can't
think of any reason it wouldn't work.  However, many of the computer
UPS's are designed to only give 5-15 minutes of backup power... just
enough to shut the system down.
