Completely indebted

[paulamrein]

I want to thank Dave, Greg, John, and Chad for showing up last night for all their hard work. I am doing a fresh water test tonight. And I will be going salt by this weekend. I'm also getting a digital camera for Christmas so I will fill you all in on the progress. Thanks again guys, it looks awesome. Please rest assured I won't always be completely clueless

It was a good time! You have a very nice tank and sump...now time for a skimmer and RODI unit I would also consider getting a temperature controller so a heater doesn't get locked on and fry your tank...also a GFCI if you don't already have one so you don't get shocked.

What are you going to use for flow in this 125g, 6 foot tank??

Funny thing, took the one cat that you were checking out to the vet. She's pregnant!! All we ask is for 100$ a month for kitten-support. You can have them on the weekends.

GFCI? a jedi knows not these things

Ground Fault Interupter. Install on the electric line going to your tank. It senses a current "leaking" to ground (your paw when it's in the tank) and shuts off the power to keep you from getting knocked on your behind. In a nutshell. It's a good idea to put one on the tank circuits.

Ground Fault Circuit Interupter (saves you from getting fried)

THE GFCI
A "GFCI" is a ground fault circuit interrupter. A ground fault circuit interrrupter is an inexpensive electrical device that, if installed in household branch circuits, could prevent over two-thirds of the approximately 300 electrocutions still occurring each year in and around the home. Installation of the device could also prevent thousands of burn and electric shock injuries each year.


The GFCI is designed to protect people from severe or fatal electric shocks Because a GFCI detects ground faults, it can also prevent some electrical fires and reduce the severity of others by interrupting the flow of electric current.

Guess I should refresh before posting as Robbie said also

These are a great Idea. If my brother-in-laws friend had them installed around his pool, my niece would still be alive. Many of you may have heard about what happened on the news back in June. My Niece, Caitlyn, moved a Halogen Lamp that was lighting up the pool area and it electrocuted her.

My sister and brother-in-law worked with an Electric Safety organization to make a commercial “Public Service Announcement.” (I can’t remember then name of the organization right now.) I believe the commercial is supposed to begin sometime after New Year’s. So keep an eye out for the commercial. Here is a link to the website that will have an article after the New Year. Safe Electricity

Moral of the story, INSTALL A GFCI! It could save your life.

I believe the rule of thumb is that any outlet that is within 6 ft. of a water sorce is supposed to be a GFCI.

What kind of cat?
