Folks, if you've recently upgraded or renewed your annual club membership but it's still not active, please reach out to the BOD or a moderator. The PayPal system has a slight bug which it doesn't allow it to activate the account on it's own.
don't use cheap extention cords! even for light loads. happen to be by my tank when the cord lit up. phew. it must have gotten wet even with a loop.burnt the plug for my air pump.
i hate hearing these stories. hopefully everyone is ok
when i was a kid, we had a housefire and we were out of our house for close to a year. it is my biggest worry with my tank, that and it cracking and destroying everything
It's not the cost, just make sure what ever you get is a heavy gauge wire. If you have to use an extension cord on a fish tank, the best thing is the heavy duty appliance ones.
