Hey all, :wavehand:
I am looking to make some safety improvements to the way my electrical components are plugged in behind my tank. Currently the outlets behind the tank are not GFCI. With the way the tank is situated It would be a nightmare to replace the current outlet. My plan is put an in-use waterproof cover over the outlet and use either an in-line GFCI cord set or GFCI power strip.
I have been searching online and found a power strip that would work well for my purpose but it doesn't say it has a built in GFCI. It says it has dual circuit breakers. Can anyone explain the difference to me?
The other question I have is, can I put my Metal Halides on a timer with something like this? Other ideas and suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
