I have always been affriad of a fire caused by my tank equipment.

I have so many things plugged in and running on my tanks that I feel I use more electricity than my whole apartment building. All tanks are on GFI's.
Im starting to wonder if I am in the wrong hobby. Way too much to worry about, if my tank isn't flooding the apartment its burning it down. :eek:

outtafocus,

my thoughts exactly... and I started nearly a year ago, I thought all the problems and worrying would be done with... it's just getting started it seems..... I honestly think I should have just done the simple Fish only ... all's I really wanted from the start was a pair of clowns :rolleyes:

So then what type of powerbars are safe????
what should we all be doing to ensure all is safe??

that and they have burned at least one guys house down on rc.

the best way to be safe is to make sure your power bar is pluged into a GFCI. it is also a good idea to use the test button once in a while to make sure the receptacle is still working properly.
