Is it a marine (saltwater) tank?
If something jumped and splashed water into unprotected electrical gear, you would get a fire. Been there too many times myself.
I used to have tanks surrounding the entire house. Then I went bigger yet and after spending over $600k into this hobby, I quit. (back in 1999) I kept real sharks as pets.
Now I have a whole bunch of aquatic life support system parts left over including a custom 300A 400Hz electrical system that ran everything.
Cheers!

Most of the stuff would not be suitable for home aquaria! Most people don't have the need to move 550 gallons/minute or generate 1kG of O3 per day!

When I worked in a local petshot, we had quite a few tanks, both saltwater, and freshwater. The setup, and electrical was not just the greatest thing in the world, power strips everywhere, along with more cords then I knew what to do with.
For any who haven't had a saltwater tank, or been around saltwater, as the water evaporates, the salt starts to creep, and it will end up flowing down powercords and into powerstrips, resulting in a usually minor shock when you placed you hand in the tank, or when you tried to unplug one of the powercords, or just touched a powerstrip... Luckily no one really ever got hurt, just a minor shock, and you quickly learned how to cut power to a tank without getting shocked, well most of the time.
I want to set my tank back up, but as freshwater, stuck between a nice tropical tank, with lots of plants or an African Cichlid tank.

Am I the only one laughing at the irony of something containing 100 gallons of water causing a fire?
