Deleted User 3 Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Better you than me buddy... lol. I'm so paranoid of my 20h breaking and spewing water on three outlets, and a shit ton of things plugged in, and an electric heater, and the floor. I saw how water came out of a 5 g and i didn't like it ! Link to comment

We want monthly FTS's.. we'll see how long it survives. Link to comment

We want monthly FTS's.. we'll see how long it survives. I'm sure thats pricey. and it doesn't help the electric heater, either =\. I have three outlets in reach of the tank.. if it doesn't explode, then only two but one is an old AC outlet ive never seen before... already got electrocuted twice by it.. not fun. Plus i live in an apartment lol I can't mod anything really. Link to comment
MikeTR Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 GFCI outlet is about $15-20. Will most certainly cut power if the heater pops and will save your life. Link to comment
markalot Posted January 4, 2013 Share Posted January 4, 2013 Hopefully you have a GFCI power strip at least, for your tank. Link to comment

Odyssey350kc Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 Is this tank still intact. I want to de-rim my 40 breeder. Everyone says don't do it and has stories about bursting tanks but no one has actually said they witnessed a 40 breeder breaking. Link to comment
NorthGaHillbilly Posted April 10, 2014 Share Posted April 10, 2014 What thickness is the glass on your tank? Link to comment
frankdontsurf Posted April 19, 2014 Share Posted April 19, 2014 UPDATE! 7 months and still holding strong ! Looked all over the interwebs to see if you can de-rim a 40 breeder and all I found was "it's there for a reason it will bow out and bust" me being stubborn as I am (thank my Irish genes for that) I had to find out for myself and this is my results.. Update?? Link to comment
