GFI & storms

[Doug]

I have a separate GFCI which was installed just for my tank, with a spearate 15amp breaker in the panel. I run my controller on it, which runs the lights, heater, etc.

My place also has GFCI/AFI, in some rooms, the room my tank is in being one. Those breakers are code here in new homes for some rooms, I think bedrooms. My tank/office is in what would have been a small 3rd bedroom.

The arc faults are very sensitive, and I would not run all my equipment on them, plus as mentioned they dont fire halides.



I copied that from another thread Steve. I will be darned if I know where the pic of it is.

They are not the same circuit. All the bedrooms and bathrooms in my house have GFI/arc fault breakers in the panel. The GFI I,m having problems with is a completely separate circuit, installed just for the tank. It has its own regular 15 amp breaker.

Also as I said, part of my tank runs on the standard GFI circuit and part runs on the GFI/arc fault circuit, which are completely different plug ins.
