One plus i can say is if power does fail the heat that is produced by my internal tank pumps & my in tank skimmer will stop, ( great during Winter tho). I did a quick experiment & turned off my T5 lighting that is 6" from my tank top & all pumps & anything producing heat, it fell almost 6 degrees in around 30 min and held at 74. I was spot feeding so seemed a good time to check this out. Ambient room temps is then what i have to cool to below with ice till generator gets going this will give me more emergency time. Other then a chiller for a overheating tank that does still have power i think you guys have the min covered without throwing more money at an already expensive labor intensive hobby.
