Why you should always invest!

[Doug]

I have a separate GFCI which was installed just for my tank, with a spearate 15amp breaker in the panel. I run my controller on it, which runs the lights, heater, etc.

My place also has GFCI/AFI, in some rooms, the room my tank is in being one. Those breakers are code here in new homes for some rooms, I think bedrooms. My tank/office is in what would have been a small 3rd bedroom.

The arc faults are very sensitive, and I would not run all my equipment on them, plus as mentioned they dont fire halides.

Plus I always try keep any electricals away from the water, in another area, compartment or whatever and always with drip loops. Not much else I can do. About as safe as possible but when dealing with electricity and all our water, I imagine accidents can still happen, {as with most things in our lives}.
