Reminder About Power strips

GFI+power strip

Walmart carries a power strp that has a GFI built in -- an important safty addition if the outlet your tank is plugged into is not GFI protected.

This is the first time I've noticed a power strip that says it is aquarium safe.

Reasonably priced at $12, with an on off switch, surge protection, GFI and the regular 6 outlets.
 
Just make sure it restarts after a power outage - many of the plug-in/not-hard-wired GFIs do not (this is a safety factor for power tool use), which could be potential disaster on a tank.

But I do agree to the importance of GFIs.
