Hello,
I’ve been reading some threads about electrical safety and reef tanks, and now I’m paranoid.
Here’s where I’m at:
My lights are all run on a separate circuit than the rest of my tank. No GFCI and aren’t plugged in near my tank.
My skimmer and doser, and half my power heads are plugged into an ADJ-100 power center with a resettable circuit breaker built in (does this negate the need for a GFCI for everything on this power center?
Everything else is run by my apex. Does the EB832 offer any protection from short circuits?
If the answer is that I still need to go install GFCI, here’s my hurdle…. These are plugged in to receptacle directly behind my tank. There is not enough room to do any swapping of receptacles without draining and moving the tank. Could I just get this circuit switched to a GFCI at the panel? Or is that not safe enough?
