    GFCI and Halides

    Calling all electric savvy reefers again. I installed 2 dedicated 20 amp circuits for the new build. I ended up using GFCI protected outlets. I also just picked up 2x 250 watt electronic ballasts for part of my new lighting scheme. Problem is that when I plug the halides into the new circuit...

    Dr. Tims One and Only...my review

    Hello All, Well as some may know, I am in the midst of putting together my 270 gallon reef build.

    Alrighty folks. I have had enough of the minor floods from one thing or another on my current 180 gallon setup, as it is sitting on carpet (even though I knew better).
