Reef-Safe Aquarium UPS - Keep Your Marine Tank Running During Power Outages
Don't let power outages devastate your saltwater aquarium. The CoralGuard DC UPS delivers reliable backup power for your most critical reef tank equipment - DC pumps, gyres, and powerheads - maintaining essential water flow when the power goes out.
Why CoralGuard Beats Traditional Aquarium UPS Systems
Maximum Efficiency for Marine Tanks: Standard UPS systems waste precious power converting DC→AC→DC. CoralGuard's direct DC-to-DC design eliminates conversion losses, giving your reef tank longer runtime and superior efficiency.
Aquarium-Specific Value: At $75, you get complete backup power capability - the same price as a basic Tunze safety connector, but with full UPS functionality for your marine aquarium.
Extended Reef Protection: Compatible with affordable scooter batteries for long-duration protection. A 20Ah battery can power a typical 24V aquarium gyre for approximately 20 hours during outages.

The Real Reef Emergency That Inspired CoralGuard:
A few months back, I was battling a stubborn phosphate problem in my reef tank - you know how frustrating those can be. I had my regular UPS running my essential equipment when we got hit with a power outage. The UPS worked fine, but it just didn't have enough capacity to keep everything running long enough.
When I finally got to check on the tank, I discovered my filefish had jumped out. Thankfully I was home and managed to get him back in safely, but it really hit me - what if I hadn't been there? All because my backup power couldn't sustain the system when my reef needed it most. Not to mention, losing circulation during my phosphate treatment set my progress back significantly.
That near-disaster made me realize there had to be a better, more efficient solution for powering critical DC aquarium equipment during outages. Traditional UPS systems waste so much power converting DC to AC and back to DC again. CoralGuard was born from this real need - efficient, long-lasting backup power designed specifically for the unique demands of marine aquarium systems.
