So I'm installing a couple of breakers for my aquarium setup. There will be 2x 20 amp circuits dedicated to the aquarium. If I'm not mistaken, NEC calls for combination GFCI/AFCI breakers these days? Or is it just GFCI?

I'm not SUPER worried about sticking to code as long as I'm not creating a truly dangerous situation. I've read that GFCI can often be finicky. Does AFCI make it even worse? Should I mess with doing the combo deal? Or should I even bother with GFCI at all?


Oi! I just saw the big "resident electricians" thread. Let me check that out.
