At Shanghai Lanhu, we strongly advise the use of GFCIs. If they detect even the tiniest electrical leak, these devices shut down power in an instant. It can prevent shocks that could injure people or ruin equipment. And the wiring side will be delicate. No one wants loose connections or exposed wires near the aquarium.

Bigger tanks require larger pumps and heaters, so the electrical system should be able to support more power without overheating. Even the acrylic tank can generate static electricity, so be sure to ground your system properly also. Another commonly overlooked detail is air circulation around electrical components, heat can accumulate and cause issues, so allowing room for air to circulate is wise. Even the location of devices like LED lights count, they shouldn’t be made to hang too close to water or acrylic surfaces to prevent short circuits or damage. All of these steps can save a lot of hassle down the road.
