Hey all, i’m having some trouble determining what equipment to plug into which outlet. I have a dedicated 20amp circut going to a gfci outlet for my tank. The other outlet i have access to runs only my refrigerator. I want to use the GFCI for safety. Although it hasn’t tripped in 6 months of use i feel the uninterrupted reliable use of heaters and the return are most vital. Would it be smarter to run my return on my eb832 that is plugged into the gfci or on the other circuit without gfci or power monotoring and control? My return is a 750gph quiet one pump.
Im moving my apex junior to my 90 for redundancy with a temp probe controling a second heater. Perhaps the smartest option is to have two smaller returns with one on the eb832 that is on the gfci circuit and the second return on the apex junior plugged into the apex jr on a different circuit.
I like the redundancy of two returns and two controled heaters on different apex’s on different circuits however you have to factor in electrical safety as well. Is there any equipment that is inherently “safe enough” to not gfci protected?
What would you do?
