Let me know how you get on...
I am thinking seriously about it too now
$1500+ postage is really good.

FYI for anyone thinking of a commercial system. Being on 'the end of the line' I've been looking for a cheaper back up power supply and these showed up on eBay http://cgi.ebay.com.au/DIESEL-GENERATOR ... 20ac26755d They have been selling for around $A1,500 plus freight, which for a 6kva biodiesel compatable generator with auto start, has to be good value - Chinese of course. In essence the generator cuts in after 90seconds if there is a power outage and should have enough grunt to run a whole system depending on design/size. Small price to pay if running max fish stocking densities IMO. I'll be using one in our commercial system trials and will report back. |

West Aussies, check out adds in the Quokka, pretty sure someone is selling something very similar, about the same price, and was imported from China. |

Probably cost as much or more to get it wired in for automatic switch over. Although you may be able to do it just to the AP after a plug without breaking too many rules. John |
