I woke up this morning to turn the heat up in my house and found out that my tank's 300w Visi-Therm heater shorted and blew the circuit breaker. With the tank at 74 degrees, I rushed to the panel and flipped the breaker back on and went to check on the tank. As soon as i looked at the heater, I saw the little light go on and BLAM...there went the breaker again. I guess with so much inactivity, it hasn't been truly tested since i set up the tank ( check out the build thread here)Luckily I seeked out a spare I had but will purchase a titanium one to support my Reefkeeper2.
With the weather changing it might be a good time to perform some quarterly maintenance and give your system the once over...
