Hey all,
I have had two AC 70 HoB's burn out on me in the last 3 months. Both occurences were after I unplugged the unit to do a pwc. Then within 30 minutes or so the filter just stopped working. It feels really warm to the touch.
The only thing that has changed is I have started using a power bar with a built in timer for my lights. The power bar has 3 receptacles for the timer and 3 with continuous power. On the back, I noticed it says not recommended for use with aquariums. Not sure why that would matter.
I will likely need another filter but I cannot get out to the lfs until tomorrow afternoon, hopefully everyone will be ok. I will be plugging this new one directly into the wall just in case.
