When I set my aquarium, I didn't have a strip surge protector, but I did have one of the alternate power center's (the type that hooks up to a computer and has a 2 hour battery built in). So I figured what the heck. It was just sitting around anyway.
Well, I found out how helpful this was this morning. To make a long story short, the circuit triped in the bedroom where the tank was for about an hour or so. The tank kept running like nothing happened!! The light was off so I figure that I had about another hour left on the battery. Once the power came back on, the battery charged up and it was good to go in no time.
It gives me a little piece of mind in the event that the power goes out for a short period of time. The only downside of having one of these is the cost. I got mine for free, so you won't hear me complaining!
