Looking at getting a generator and would like some help. Thanks

I think you can get by with an Un-interruptable Power Supply.
I use airstones for DWC.
A power failure, (quite common in Hawaii), could wipe me out.
I also use LEDs for lighting, so my growroom is protected by 2 UPS units. One for lights, one for fans and pumps
If the line power fails, they kick in automagically in a few milliseconds, and use power stored in batteries to provide 120V AC until line power is restored, then they go back into charge mode to be ready for the next failure.
They are quiet and relatively inexpensive. Costco has a good price on them. Get one rated for as much power as you can afford.
Ask for a UPS.
