my first question: I live in Florida, i was wondering if anyone has ever kept their saltwater tank outdoors? Its 55gal and would be inside a screened in pool on the patio. You think anything would be wrong with that? Also my 2nd question: what happens if the power goes out, is their anything special you must do, especially if its out for a couple hours, or is there nothing you can do? THANKS so much for any info...

the fresh water might mess up the salt lvl and the weather might kill the tank. too many eventual problems to post

Browse the local computer store or office depot. You can use a UPS backup power system. It stores electricity and turns on the second the power goes out, supplying all your equipment with juice.
The inexpensive ones generally only work for a couple of hours with a computer hooked up to one, so expect only about 30 minutes for all your tank's equipment. You might be able to squeeze 2 hours out if you turned the tank lights off.
The brand name we use at work is APC.
