Winter time - DYI power back-up

8 month old tank and heading into its first winter season in the NE with possible power outages.

Three options depending on cost and complexity -
1, run an air stone / pump (link below)
2, run a Koralia pump (11 w)
3, Run a Koralia pump (11 w) and a 300w heater.

Thinking of a marine battery (or 2) w/ trickle charger type setup in basement.

FYI - I'm electronically challenged.

Any good ideas you want to share?

Here's a simple air pump
