Need Electrical Ideas

[sphelps]

Locate all electrical away from moisture. Either in a separate cabinet or room. Do not use power bars, GFIs or other similar safety devices on critical equipment like the return pump. Anything your tank can survive without for 24 hours is not critical.

I'm not really sure about power bars these days, they are suppose to protect equipment from surges but a couple weeks back the neutral feed to my house came loose causing all electrical to ground through the house. I have two power bars in the house, one on the computer which did nothing, the power supply burned out and had to be replaced and the other on my home theater electronics which started on fire, if I wasn't home at the time it could have been a real disaster but luckily I could it almost right away so no damage was done, well except the burnt power bar. Loose neutrals are a very common problem with overhead power lines.
