As the expression goes, “Hope for the best and prepare for the worst.” One of the easiest ways to prevent an aquarium from crashing is by connecting a pump or powerhead to a battery backup device. That way, if your home or office experiences expected or unexpected losses of power, your pump(s) will keep the moving water—which is essential for the survival of fish and coral.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3 dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThere are a variety of ways a power loss can occur.
