Ok I have been controlling my tank for the last 4 months with a reef Keeper 2. I whent on vacation a few months ago and had my wifes friend watch the tank. I came home to a tank at 62degrees and most of the coral in bad shape. I jumped into action and checked things out to find a blown fuse on my Reef Keeper. I pulled all the plugs from the controller and pluged them directly into a power source to buy me time to get some replacement fuses at Radio Shack. Well I got the fuses and was back in buisness with the controller working. I did lose a few corals but I was lucky. Ok at 9:30 I woke up today to find the Actinics didnt go on? I got up and looked at the temp on the display and it was at 72. **** here we go again. I go and check out the cause and find the Reef Keeper has blown a fuse again. Now I know some of you might be thinking Im over sressing the cotroller with Wattage but this is not the case at all. I decided to eliminate the problem entirely andremove the fuse link itself. My wife and I travel quite offten and I cant risk it anymore. I then powered the controller on a 20amp GFI plug. No more worries.
