Default Power for the tank

I have had a few people ask me, so here is what I have done.

Ran 2 new 15 Amp circuits for the tank

In the cabnit I installed 4 GFI plugs to run the pumps, heaters, air pump, and light for the refugium.

The plugs for the pumps and lights are in light switches so I do not have to unplug the units.

I plug the titanium grounding rod directly into the new wall plug (the one for the lighting, gives me a fast visual that something is wrong when my lights go out)

I will be installing 2 GFI plugs for the power heads, 2 GFI plugs for the lighting, all on light switches in the cabnit. Plugged into the second 15 Amp circuit.


Just piped in and tested my Mak 4 pump, it kicks ass so now I have a backup on my return
