the pump. Leave pump running and prevent back-

the pump nozzle and taping it to the top frame of the
aquarium.

To avoid getting the appliance plug or receptacle wet,
position the aquarium to the side of a wall-mounted
outlet. Arrange a “drip loop” for each cord connecting
an aquarium appliance to an outlet. The “drip loop”
is the part of the cord below the level of the outlet
that prevents water from traveling along the cord
and coming in contact with the outlet. (If using an
extension cord, the “drip loop” is located below the
level of the connector.) If the plug or receptacle
gets wet,
don’t unplug
the cord.
Disconnect
the fuse or
circuit breaker
that supplies
power to the
appliance.
Then unplug
the appliance
and examine
the outlet for
the presence
of water.
