Is there a fuse on the outlet box? I'd start there...

FYI a generator is not really made to power electronics.... If you have a UPS you can use that in between. The electric for a generator is not clean meaning it is not steady and can stray up or down. Unless you have an inverter based generator you are taking a chance plugging in delicate electronics....

The only use a generator should have on a fish tank is for the return pump only or a chiller/ heater. Anything else could be put off for a few days. I'm sure it would come in more handy for your refrigerator.

generators usually produce a modified sine wave creating "dirty power" really not a good idea to run any type of electronics with it, just like thirty5 said.

yep, thats why generators with inverter build in are usually higher in price.

Sorry mheaven it seems like I upset you.
No one ever told me this about generators it must be common knowledge and some how I got left out lol
What would you recommend for my setup?
How is a generator more handy for my refrigerator? I got that part covered and
Was looking for help not ridicule.

Mike did you try pushing(resetting) the breaker on the energy bar? It's the white button on the front.
