Late to the party, but I agree, no teeth and Beananimal. You don't need to get all fancy with the Beananimal though... I set mine up like a Herbie. One drain fully submerged about 1/3 of the way from...

Didn't see it mentioned in the thread... did you take any par measurements? Not sure how you know if you have enough light.

LF a par meter to test my DIY LED

I have my DIY LED fixture all up and running, but I have no sweet clue what it's pumping out. I'm wondering if someone could bring over their par meter and take a few measurements for me?

Let me...

The moving cost for the shark tank at the Calgary location is more than the tank cost.

How do you make an aquarium cost $400 000? Oh... I get it... the glass isn't glass, it's actually diamonds....

Like was said above, an arc fault would technically be best to prevent the fire like the OP had, but arc faults aren't perfect. You can "trick" them by accident when motors start up, etc. So while...

Being electrician, I would not bother with the arc fault. The gfi will be your first line and the breaker will trip if you short something.

You could just replace the standard breaker with an arc fault. It's my opinion that the gfci is the most important piece.

It's really smart to have multiple GFIs. You don't want to lose every...

Yes, that's perfect. I don't understand why there are no surge protectors (being sold) where each plug is it's own GFI. For reefers it would be awesome.

Ideally you'd have a few different...

I take it you weren't using GFCIs?

I don't want this to come across wrong, but not using GFI protection is extremely risky on a reef tank. There's not much more you could do to be more unsafe in...
