Yesterday night, the power went out, and the heater was supposed to default to 77 degrees Fahrenheit (25 Celsius) when the power came back on, but for some reason, it went to 113 degrees Fahrenheit (45 Celsius). This ended up killing the poor fish. 
What she wants is a battery backup so that if power does go out, they would like the tank to maintain temperature.
I know the tank uses 0.125 KW or 125 Watts.
Can anyone recommend a solution?
Edit: The entire tank (airstone,filter,heater,light) is run by a single power cord.
