GFCI's trip, but you have to remember that you are installing systems in schools where many people gather, and possibly poke around in the tank with water.
Very true! That's why I want a GFIC! Just noticed at one of the other schools some idiot was plugging up a screen in the mbbr with chewing gum!
You got more than a GFCI installed, like a gizmo that will shunt trip the mains?
Not that I'm aware of but this is an old antiquated part of a new school so who knows?
GFCI's don't always work, so you need to back yourself up.
Yeah I hear they can be defective at times. This one apparently worked just fine!
No way would I put something in a school, unless they understood everything, and that would include electrical!!!
You're smarter than me in more ways than one! Three schools was enough of a hassle, but these guys had a tank from a previous teacher and begged me to help set them up. The kids do love the fish and it is a way to learn several disciplines at once. Some are now interested in fish farming.
