Reheating Tank

[sphelps]

It'll take a while for the tank to heat up anyway so I wouldn't be concerned about heating it up too fast.

See if you can setup your controller with black out delays at different intervals for various equipment, that way everything won't attempt to turn on at once and trip breakers/GFCIs. I personally don't run my return pump and controller power through a GFCI, everything else yes but the controller doesn't need it and the return pump is just too important.

Best of luck.

Sphelps.... if you only knew , this is SO bad, my controller is set up to do all of that, and i was at HD the other day and picked up everything i needed to finish off re-doing power outlet part of my controller so that i could put everything back on there instead of my temporary timers. Well.. i was tired last night and went to bed early instead of doing it... and so now while i monitor the tank i'm setting it up so this doesn't happen again. I swear, the fish gods knew i just spent my fish tank budget on a lighting upgrade, and i was too lazy to finish my timer. This is how they punish me.

ah could be worse man, if everything works out no harm done. I got tonnes of stuff that I haven't finished yet, you do the best you can is all.

Here's the latest 3 hours of my temp, should keep updating. The spikes where me restarting my controller a few times as i moved some power bars around.


Edit: temp steady at 77, deleting graph.

I am so sorry. You have a gorgeous tank and with all the effort you've put in you didn't deserve something like this. I hope your corals pull through

S**t deal, hope all works out for you.

Ouch so sad for you, especially since you have a controller. I am curious since I just got a reefkeeper lite. Mine says I am only drawing 1amp on each power bar so 2amps total. Isn't it odd that the gfi's tripped ? You may want to check your circuit load ? I'm not an electrician but just hoping you never have it happen again.
