Calling Electricians... AFCI/GFCI Breakers?

dangles · Oct 17, 2023

So I'm installing a couple of breakers for my aquarium setup. There will be 2x 20 amp circuits dedicated to the aquarium. If I'm not mistaken, NEC calls for combination GFCI/AFCI breakers these days? Or is it just GFCI?

I'm not SUPER worried about sticking to code as long as I'm not creating a truly dangerous situation. I've read that GFCI can often be finicky. Does AFCI make it even worse? Should I mess with doing the combo deal? Or should I even bother with GFCI at all?

Oi! I just saw the big "resident electricians" thread. Let me check that out.

HOW IMPORTANT ARE FISH TO MAKING A REEF TANK FEEL COMPLETE?

Essential! A reef needs fish movement and personality

Very important, but one or two fish may be enough

Optional... a coral-only reef can feel completely finished

I actually prefer a coral-and-invertebrate-only system

It depends on the tank’s size, style, or purpose

I’ve kept a fishless reef (details in the comments)

Well...it's complicated... (answer in the comments)
