I have one....though sometimes I wonder why.

 

[Reeferhead]

I've always had one too, but now may have to reconsider.

For those too busy or lazy to read the article What does it say about them....yes or no?

 

[Letmegrow]

It says no.

Saltwater conducts electricity different than Freshwater,
When you have stray current from a device it essentially stays self contained and isolated.

Only when you add a ground probe does it arc and create current enough to get under the fishies skin.

I only glanced at it cause I hate reading black over a yellow background. The yellow pages kill me.

It says that people with blue ceilings in their fish room should not use one. Who in the world would have a blue ceiling in their fish room though? Silly!

Jack I told my kid he could slash you in the leg with his hockey stick for saying the Blues are ghey!

 

[rams]

Well now I know I don't ever need one. My buddy rams_1_again just got one because he was shocked by a busted glass heater in his sump. I will let him read it before I tell him to get rid of it. I hate the yellow pages too. :thumbsup:

 

[sirreal63]

Aren't they though? They certainly aren't as top notch of a team as the Dallas Stars.

 

[rams]

NO. The ceiling is white, the walls of the room are blue. But at Gregs advanced age I can see where he may have thought that it was blue. I've heard that your eye sight fades with age........I guess Capo is living proof of the hard facts.
