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 MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

It depends on how badly I want the fish

Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

I haven’t really considered this before

Something else (see my comments in the thread)
