 Professional Reef UPS with Real-time Power Monitoring

 

Take the guesswork out of backup power management. The CoralGuard Pro DC UPS combines reliable backup power protection with an integrated watt counter display that tracks exactly how much power your aquarium equipment has consumed. Know your runtime, plan your power needs, and never wonder if your battery will last through an outage.

 

Why CoralGuard Pro is the Ultimate Aquarium UPS Solution

 

Real-Time Power Monitoring: Built-in watt counter displays cumulative power consumption, helping you understand your equipment's actual power draw and estimate remaining battery capacity during outages.

 

Data-Driven Reef Protection: Track usage patterns over time to optimize your battery sizing and identify power-hungry devices. The manually resettable counter lets you measure specific equipment or monitor consumption over any time period.

 

Maximum Efficiency: Direct DC-to-DC design eliminates wasteful conversions, giving your marine aquarium longer runtime and superior efficiency compared to traditional UPS systems that waste power converting DC→AC→DC.

 

Professional Complete System: Everything you need including charger and monitoring display for $100 - professional-grade protection for serious reef keepers.

Why Power Monitoring Matters for Reef Keepers

 

Accurate Runtime Calculations: Instead of guessing, you'll know exactly how many watt-hours your equipment consumes. Calculate precise backup times for your specific setup.

 

Equipment Troubleshooting: Identify devices drawing more power than expected, potentially indicating failing equipment before it becomes a problem.

 

Battery Sizing: Make informed decisions about battery capacity needs based on actual measured consumption, not manufacturer estimates.

 

Cost Optimization: Right-size your battery investment by knowing exactly what you need, not over-buying "just to be safe."

 

Perfect For Professional Aquarium Applications:

- DC Gyres & Wavemakers - Monitor flow equipment power consumption

- DC Return Pumps - Track filtration system power usage

- DC Powerheads - Measure circulation equipment efficiency

- Critical Flow Devices - Any DC-powered aquarium equipment

- Power Auditing - Understand your tank's total power consumption

 

Not Recommended for Marine Tanks:

- Aquarium Lighting - High power consumption, non-critical during short outages

- Heaters - Typically AC-powered with high current draw

 

What's Included with Your Professional System:

- CoralGuard Pro DC UPS Unit (12V or 24V)

- Integrated Watt Counter Display

- Smart Battery Charger with cutoff feature

- Protection Fuses

- Complete Professional Installation Guide

 

What You Need:

- Compatible 12V or 24V scooter battery (or multiple batteries for extended runtime)

- Basic installation tools

 

Professional Runtime Calculator with Monitoring:

 

Traditional Method: Battery Amp-Hours ÷ Equipment Current Draw = Hours

CoralGuard Pro Method: Monitor actual watt-hour consumption over 24 hours, then divide battery capacity by measured usage = Precise runtime

 

Example: Your watt counter shows 15Wh consumed in 24 hours. With a 240Wh battery (20Ah × 12V), you have 16 days of backup power - not a guess, actual data!

 

How the Watt Counter Works:

 

The integrated display shows cumulative watt-hours (Wh) consumed since the last manual reset. This allows you to:

- Track outage consumption - Reset before outage, check usage after power returns

- Calculate efficiency - Compare different equipment options by measuring actual draw

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 needed to be a better solution - not just efficient backup power, but the ability to actually measure and understand power consumption. The CoralGuard Pro was born from this need - giving reef keepers real data to make informed decisions about their backup power systems.
