Essential electrical safety equipment for aquarium hobbyists
Protection against electrical shocks and equipment damage. Five Outlet ground fault circuit interrupter (GFCI) converts a single outlet into 5 safety outlets. 24" Inline GFCI Perfect for indoor and outdoor use, the 2' In-Line GFCI has a heavy-duty, 12-gauge, 3-outlet power cord and built-in GFCI protection against hazardous shock from damaged cords or exposure to water.
Hazardous electrical leakage levels in appliances and tools
Electric shock caused by appliances and tools exposed to water
How does it work?
Shock Buster instantly detects ground fault caused by electrical current leakage
Shuts off power in a fraction of a second
Built-in electronic sensing device detects leakage currents as low as 4mA**
**(4 thousandths of an amp - very low) and in a fraction of a second turns the power off to prevent injury.

Operating Instructions
Plug GFCI into a 120 VAC power outlet.
Verify that the red LED indicator turns on. This indicates power to the GFCI output receptacle.
Press the test button and verify that the red LED light turns off.
Press and release the reset button and verify that the red LED indicator turns on.
The GFCI is now ready to use.

Warning:
If the GFCI fails to trip (turn off) when the test button is pressed or fails to reset (turn on), the device is defective and should not be used.
If the GFCI tests properly without a load applied but trips each time a load is connected, then the load has a ground fault condition and needs to be repaired or replaced. DO NOT bypass the GFCI if this condition occurs. A real shock hazard may exist.
Important Notes:
TOWER's GFCI products will provide protection against ground faults when used with a 2-wire receptacle and a 3-wire to 2-wire adapter. However, it is best to use a 3-wire grounded outlet for ground fault circuit interrupters equipped with a ground pin. It will provide additional protection against electrical shock hazards.
TOWER's GFCI products will not sense ground fault conditions on the input conductors; therefore, it is recommended that all additional extension cords should be connected to the GFCI output.
Caution:
This device is to be used on normal distribution systems 120VAC/15AMPS 60HZ maximum.
The GFCI is a safety device. Do not use the TEST and RESET buttons as an on/off switch.
All Ground Fault Circuit Interrupters do not protect against electrical shock resulting from contact with both current-carrying conductors of an electrical circuit.
Do not connect any extension cord longer than 100 feet to the GFCI output to avoid the possibility of nuisance tripping.
Test frequently and before each use to ensure proper operation.
An important component of an aquarium that often gets overlooked is lighting. This article gives a basic description of available aquarium lighting systems.
What's the difference between fluorescent, incandescent, metal halide, VHO, T5, Compact Fluorescent, and other aquarium lighting fixtures? This selection guide answers this and other questions to help you choose the right lighting system.
When designing your aquarium lighting system, your goal should be to duplicate natural conditions. Thanks to recent advancements in lighting technology, this has become an easier task. Learn how in this article.
