Reef safety equipment?

[tgunn]

Hey all,
I'm trying to stock my fish room up with some basic safety equipment and just wanted to get some input on things people keep around "just in case".

So far I've got:
1. Fire extinguisher
2. MSDS sheets for all chemicals I'm using - particularily important for Calcium Hydroxide (aka Kalk) since it's pretty harsh/caustic.
3. Emergency eye wash bottle
4. Safety glasses

I'm going to get some shoulder length gloves as well.

What other things do people think are good to have around?

I'm thinking I'd like to assemble some information on the toxicity of the corals/fish in my eventual system (something for my own reference in case I get stung or squirted, and also something I could take to the hospital in an emergency). Does anyone know of a decent reference book / site for this kind of info?

Thanks,
Tyler

Yeah, I've read my share of horror stories of things bursting into flames...

I'd love to incorporate some kind of automatic fire suppression system in the fish room like fire sprinklers, but I've never been able to find info on installing them.

You've probably already covered it, but a ground probe for the tank, and all electrical equipment running to GFCI's......

Yup, I've got 2 15 amp circuits to the fish room each with it's own GFCI,. Total of 6 outlets in the room, so plenty of room for plugging stuff in without a power bar.

No grounding probe as of yet, but probably a good idea...

Later,
Tyler
