 |
|
| Hi people I have a fish tank with all the power leads plugged into an extension socket and then plugged into a single wall socket. The wall socket is very close to the fish tank (about 10 cm away). Now without rewiring is there any product I can buy to make this a little safer |

Just make sure the circuit is protected with an RCD at the fuse board or plug one in before the extention lead.
Got 3 tanks myself 1 x marine and 2 x tropical

If it is protected at the fuseboard then dont put one on the lead as well or you will get nusaince tripping
