Sound Blaster 5.12.1.512

Electrical

Radical changes: 've always had a holy terror of electric current, then as if in this case also adds that he is dealing with water is the cocktail that is deadly. Electric shock, power failure, power interruptions are to be avoided when you grow this hobby because, in addition to the primary safeguard the health and safety of others, there are other secondary issues not be overlooked. Water, particularly salt water, if left without movement for more than 2-3 hours to begin to degenerate and lose oxygen, with serious risk of poisoning and choking the life of farmed fish and corals. So I am seriously considering the idea of \u200b\u200bgiving my aquarium a few improvements: the first is to bring all the sockets in a dry place away from splashing due to evaporation or seepage, the second is to set up a group generator of continuity can be food for at least 3 hours, in the unfortunate case of an electrical blackout, the return pump from the sump, the heater and a pair of reciprocating pumps inside the tank.
paranoia or phobia may sound but when I dance not only in their hobbies but also of life, and not least a lot of money spent to set up something that you passionately I assure you that these "measures" are needed : indeed it is true that it is always better to prevent than cure?

To achieve the first objective, namely to move in a more safe and dry all electrical and I directed my choice to a row of magnetic circuit breaker, each dedicated to a specific accessory. Doing so will be much easier to intervene on individual units instead of going crazy looking for a plug on the cable or having to power down everything just to isolate a single element. Work is finished I have to say I like this choice because it is useful to have a switch only p er skimmer (to be able to shut down during maintenance and cleaning of the collection cup), a calcium reactor for the (pump , reactor, computer pH meter connected to the tank of CO2), a movement dedicated to the pumps (4 operated by OndaWave), to a sump and one in the park lamps (with 3 different timers). Of course there's the other side of the coin: the "counter" is that I had cut off the original plug so ... product warranty goodbye.

To achieve the second goal but are still on the high seas: the market are only expensive equipment, or how those models that are used in the stands during fairs and flea markets (but then I risk going to petrol monoxide poisoning) others are limited to data storage of computers and therefore with a very small span of time for my purposes. I hope to resolve in one way or another and the first news about'll update the post again.
