Mnfish,
I don't consider that hijacking and even if it was it wouldn't bother me. I think we all do this from time to time.
As far as myself I think for safety's sake a grid fallback system would be the way to go. That is, solar produces electricity off the batteries but when the batteries get down to a certain level a switch kicks over to AC off the grid. Just one circuit connected to the grid probably for an AC air pump. I should be able to run my air lift and aeration the fish tank on 30 to 40 watts tops if I have zero head on the airlift.
Thoughts?
Brian,
What are you doing to keep your system running 24/7?
