So, New tank......

[oneradtek]

well its still in break-in mode.....ill get some media on it soon

So i was a very irresponsible reef-tard for teh last few years. I used a GFI for a long time because i didnt want to kill myself or burn my house down. But unfortunately it was tripping for some reason a long time ago ( because of a faulty powerhead i later found out.) well i got used to not using it, and before long forgot i even had it.....until last night.
for the last few days i kept smelling something getting stronger and stronger, i smelled like something was burning, but i looked all over and could never find out what it was......well last night i found out, and if this went on any longer i think i could have started a fire......

so please, use a GFI for your tanks.....i spent all day today redoing my electrical with GFI's

an exagerated view of my electrical setup, prior to re-organization....new pic to come

new skimmer

 

[snakeblitz33]

The before pic of your electrical setup looks scary!
I like your skimmer. I'm sure it will work out really well for you.

 

[travelerjp98]

I also like the skimmer. That is really a complicated set up underneath your tank....

 

[oneradtek]

yea it really wasnt that bad before, i just did that on purpose after my plug short, all the wires were taken down. and all over the place for a day

 

[oneradtek]

it still is confusing, but its not THAT bad i think. my system only has what it needs, nothing else. 1 main pump....T's off to the refugium and my frag tank. along the way it also has 2 feed lines for a gfo and carbon reactor. some dosing pumps and a frag tank. thats it just alot of electrical cords, but they are all gfi protected now and up and out of the way

 

[travelerjp98]

The electrical looks a lot better, but it still looks confusing to me!

 

[oneradtek]

yea, its just i have so many tanks going down there! a frag tank, a refugium and my sump blah

 

[travelerjp98]

What's the thing that looks like a flight of stairs? To the right of the picture...

 

[oneradtek]

those are my stairs going up out of my basement

 

[travelerjp98]

That tank is in your basement?

 

[oneradtek]

my sump system is, along with my frag tank and refugium (everythign in the pic)....display is in my dining room

 

[travelerjp98]

Oh wow.... nice. I sure hope that you wouldn't keep a tank as beautiful as yours hidden from other people!

 

[1guydude]

Sweeeeet system sir!

That is how every basement should look, nice job - I like the fish ladder as well, J/K - that is a neat reabbitfish, is he a juvi. - how big is he. I would really like to move everything into my basement, but I might be moving in a year or so. Great job my friend.
