The bags arrived for the Oreck vacuum and the wife tested it out. She says it's the best one that she ever used. I asked her if we should sell it or keep it and she said to give her the money. I said never mind go #@*^%(%$%^^&.
(my wife deposits all her money in the casino toilet)

@mikepetro, are you using battery backup on your aquarium? If so what?
I have a rotated a variety of large UPS units through the tank. What I found for my African Cichlids was that I only really needed to power 1 of the pumps for the wet/dry filter to keep the bacteria alive, and 1 heater to keep the aquarium in a safe state. This is what I am using today.

2 considerations, my tank is freshwater, they require a LOT less equipment running to keep them alive. A saltwater tank requires about 10 times more electrical power to maintain minimum safe conditions. The other consideration is how long you are trying to protect the tank. I only need 2hours, if the power isnt on by then I am starting the portable generator and powering the whole house.

My friend has a saltwater tank, she starts to lose it when there is a power outage. I got the APC-SMT2200 that we replaced at work working just fine after I was able to take my time with it. Maybe she will want it.

I'm at work now, no missing juice here. That leaves a couple possibilities.
It fell into my little trash can next to my desk at home and the wife threw it away or it fell out at CVS when I was getting some latex gloves out of the bag that my vape stuff is carried in. I brought a 30 ml bottle with me.
I'm leaning toward the little trash can as the vape bag sits right next to it.
