hmmmmm

carpet anemone + seahorses = expensive meal
can't wait to see pics of it.
I need to get rid of a green bubble tip and a rose bubble tip before they kill my montiporas .

Juan you got all of my corals!

In the paly pic, you have acid drops on the top, Magicians on the bottom, and the favia in the last pic is a frag of World Wide Corals' Nuclear Freeze Favia!

the tank is looking good man! it has come a long way!
Cheers~!
Jon

hopefully it was on a protected circuit and didn't do any harm to the fish and corals

as long as there is a ground it shouldn't matter, right?

If the product has a three-prong grounding type plug,is a GFCI still necessary?
A GFCI is necessary even if the product has a third wire to ground it. A GFCI provides very sensitive protection to consumers against electric shock hazards. Under some conditions, a shock hazard could still exist even if a product has a grounding wire.

Also, a ground doesn't work in the case of an exposed wire (something eating through a powerhead cord under water). Im lucky to have a GFCI. I probably wouldn't be standing here today. Juan, you might be lucky the ballast fried before you got to it.

I know a gfic is need to protect the circuit, and socket, but, in theory (barring unseen randomness), if it is grounded- it wont shock? It is in the name~ground fault indicator~ right?

ground fault circuit interrupter

not if you provide a better ground current will travel in the path of least resistance

thats what I needed to know~it makes more sense to me now~thanks mike!!!
(whats the likelyhood anything will ground better than a 10 ft copper rod?)
