Well. This is a first for me. I have safeties on my overflows so that if the water level goes to high it will trip the gfci on my pump. Unfortunately this happened today while my skimmer was 3/4s full with nasty carbon dosed skim mate. And the extra few gallons of water overflowed my skimmer...

I have a titanium heater with a separate temp control that sits outside the tank, and I have been using it for about 6 months. Well about 20 min ago I smelled something and then I realized it was something burning. I am the only home, so I'm thinking where is this coming from. I look in the...

Have a new question I posted at bottom. Not sure if this is the right place to post this but here it goes. I moved my tank to the living room and I had to plug into a regular two prong without a gfci. Ive already shocked myself due to a powerhead leaking voltage, and also a skimmer pump...

Hi Guys, I just started my 30G Oceanic Cube build after waiting about 1 year to finish my floor. It is a 30G Oceanic Cube with stand with a glass door which I bought from Petsmart for ~200 on a clearance sale. Stand is kind of non-standard and I cannot put any regular tank as a sump. So, I...

My stealth heater shorted out and fried my pc 4 on my reefkeeper. The computer part still works, but the plug module is gone. I'm buying another plug module, but want to make sure something else pops before my $90 pc 4. The built in fuse failed and it popped my house circuit breaker too. Is...

So I was replumbing my sump last night when I accidentally sprayed water down a wall and into an electrical outlet. Not being an electrician, I thought "oh awesome, I'm going green by using hydroelectric power!" but apparently that's not what that means. :( So there was a flash and the breaker...

I bought a couple Sunlight Supply 2 bulb T5 fixtures that are pretty old, I assume they are between 5 and 10 years old. One works great, the other is pretty bad and I may have to purchase all new lighting. The bad fixture is 48" and uses individual reflectors that clip on the bulbs. Every day...
