To prolong the UPS duration... I think you only need to power your return pump in the event of a black out... everything else will only shorten your backup period.

In case of power failure.

SPS tank & Reef Tank - Put lots of Ice tube into tank. Use the UPS to internal flow.

FOWLR - Just internal flow would be enough.
