Seems to me the over all growth has been built on a patchwork electrical system. It’s was never designed to cope with this setup. It’s just one thing plugged into another. Sounds to me the whole system is reaching breaking point. It’s looks somewhat dangerous in places. The breaker over a jacuzzi, daisy chaining power, rotten plugs live dangling freely exposed outside? I think you ought to get the whole place looked at by professionals. Stay safe, before staying fishy.
Thanks as always for the honest and forthright video... you and your dad's incredible work ethic, obvious dedication to the Rescue, and willingness to share everything is not only entertaining but a big part of why fans keep coming back each and every week. I've been following OFR for years, and after watching you guys constantly grow, improve AND survive crisis after crisis, I think it's time for an in-depth evaluation of your entire setup. Obviously and unapologetically, the entire system has evolved incrementally over time, and I'm sure you'd agree that there are examples of temporary fixes that have inadvertently become permanent as time passed. Given your skill sets, and in-depth understanding of what's required, I also assume that there are a number of changes you'd make if you could. I think now is the time. Start with the electrical system... do you have a complete and accurate diagram for every line and circuit? Ideally, how many additional lines would you need? How much more power and/or distribution points/panels are required to meet your current needs/future plans? What would an optimized outlet placement plan look like? Extension cords and power strips are OK temporary measures but in mission-critical installations, not the ideal solution. While not easy or inexpensive, for your safety, ease of mind, and the long-term viability of OFR, it's time for some serious planning, sponsor hunting (i.e. Wi-Fi/Bluetooth enabled sensors and diagnostic tools, emergency/uninterruptable power alternatives, etc.) and rerouting of your electrical system to allow for safer/easier inspection, maintenance and modification. I suspect that there are many of us in the community who would love to help. Start fundraising and securing sponsor interest now and plan it all out. OFR has grown so much so fast that no one could have anticipated the needs... but given the sheer volume of fish, tanks, and equipment you are working so hard to manage, it is time to reimagine your entire system and engineer a solution that reduces your workload, reduces the single-points of failure risks and increases your ability to focus on sharing the hobby. Looking forward to whatever comes next!
Not the type of product promotion we wanted but the best one we got
Glad to hear the fishes are doing good, take care mate
Huh. Are you affiliated with any products we use??
Nah not affiliated,
What i was trying to convey was that the product that you usually would promote or talk about came in clutch this time and helped alot.
I am glad Rich found it that night and saved them all, plus i am glad you did not stop and findly found the real problem. Great job to you both. God bless you and your whole family...🙏❤🙏❤🙏😊🙂😀
Look at that sturgeon WOW, accidents and near misses will always happen. It’s about minimising the risk of them. But if there is any guys I would have looking after my fish it would be you guys. Great vid Josh.
When I saw the "Bad news" title for Fishy Friday, I thought first about Tracy, second about the sturgeon. Spooky! I'm glad it worked out.
So glad the fish were saved & you got it fixed
Holy cow 🐮 😇
Big Rich must have had a feeling before bed”must triple check tanks”. Damn good thing he did!
Great job Josh on working out the problem.
Crazy how old that plug is on the back porch.
Stay Fishy flappy friends ;)
Glad you guys figured it out
WOW!!! what an old plug! no wonder it stopped working! TYVM for sharing all the information!
That sturgeon is a beauty! I would be so sad if y’all lost her. Good work Big Rich and team!
So glad the sturgeon is okay it’s my favorite. Thankful that Big Rich caught the problem quickly enough. Is there an alarm system of sorts you can set up to warn you of these failures? Good thing you guys know electrical stuff! Good story and beautiful fish! ❤
This is why I like the "Look at me feed the same fish you've seen me feed fiftyeleven times before", because then everything works as it should, no strange electrical problems trying to kill your fish etc. Sorry about all the extra work for you guys, but glad you didn't lose any fish.
Good Morning! 💙💚
Thank you Josh! I'm so sorry, it's just one thing after another, but you're always on it! Even got a little bam in there today 😁 Happy Saturday everyone! Stay wonderful! Love and hugs sent!
💌🦭💌🦈💌
I am very happy there were no casualties.
Thanks
I love seeing the sturgeon he/she is my fav future monster. Right now it’s Brutus. OFR is the best. Ty for sharing
Good Morning From Texas Stay Fishy 🇨🇱
Morning!
Kudos to Big Rich for saving the fish! Electricity scares me. I won't try to work on it.
Oh wow! Well done Rich. I would have panicked. Thanks Josh you guys are awesome.
I hope you have a good backup power system in case of a long outage like we just had here in Texas. Good job saving them.
So glad Big Rich saw it in time!
So happy all's well for the fishes. Glad you stuck with it until you figured out the issue.
glad pops was on it! I think some people let things fail to get clicks and reactions instead of intervening and sharing what failed and the fix. The great thing is you guys troubleshoot, learn, and reduce future risks. I do not have time or room to keep fish anymore, have not for years so i live vicariously through you guys LOL. Seems like a good time to draw out the circuit there as well. I have fooled myself into believing i will remember things like that more than once.
Nitemare but you got it sorted👍all the best from birmingham uk🇬🇧🇬🇧✌️
I'm so glad you were able to save the Shaq Koi and my beautiful sturgeon (I love that sturgeon)
Arching can cause fire as less of the wiring takes more load
This is Electrician Training Course 101.
Moral of the story...be careful using old electrical gear. Got it.👍
Wow what a dilemma. Glad it all worked out with no fish loss !!!! 👍
Good morning Josh
Wow that was a close call.
Good save there Josh.
Enjoy your day.
Play safe have fun.
Man, never a dull moment, but great work getting it back on track and saving the fish!
You got that right!
Wow! I bet you were frustrated! I'm so glad we didn't lose any fishies!! It could've been so much worse!!!
time to install a permanent generator.
especially with Tracy
sometimes, motors will trip an arc-fault because of the arc in the motors
Great that you never lost any fish especially the sturgeon
Hi I was thinking you need to put armoured cable to all your out door sockets from to fuse box then you have a independent power to the shed and to the ponds put side
This could have been so much worse, glad you were able to find the problem
That arc fault breaker saved that house.... That loose romex with corroded plug is asking to burn it all down.
I remember telling you like 2 years ago you guys needed an electrical upgrade. Why don't you set up a go fund me for it or try to get donations to do an overhaul
Because we just installed that 100 amp service and panel
First viewing from Zimbabwe. Love you guys
🥳
The air would have been blue with curse words if I was there. Even listening to you I'm annoyed. 🤬🤬🤬🇮🇪🇮🇪. Well done in finding out wat happened.
Nothing is more "Day-Ruining" than an issue with the collection.. Not until u figure it out, and u feel that feel better feeling lol!! Crisis averted..
Hello and thank you for sharing with us today. SFMF #TeamTracy
Time for an electrical upgrade! Good luck!
Thank goodness that you are so handy --- your dad too --- and can fix these things. If it happened to me here, I'd have to hire an electrician or something.
Think I commented before, but eventually, getting a large Generac generator for the facility might be a good investment. I just think about how you guys have the possibility of being hit with blizzards/ severe winter weather and would be good to have in the worst-case scenario.
Arc faults are known to cause headaches, all sorts of things can trigger them, especially electric motors. It's not terribly uncommon for people to remove arc fault breakers once they've passed inspection.
Nice video im sorry that happen to you guys
You guys need to be sponsored by a water cleaning company as much flooding you guys have
Wish I lived a little closer to you guys. I would have come over and found the issue for you just for a tour 😂. I am a electrician what I teach on this issue is you need to spit the issue. This is especially easy if you take a second to figure out how it’s ran. Pick the approximate middle of the circuit. Disconnect the last half and turn power back on. If problem is gone. Turn power back off and reconnect everything back to original. Go to 3/4’s of the way on the circuit and repeat process. Keep doing this until you narrow down the problem.
If the problem was still present at the halfway point when you disconnected it the issue is still between break and panel. Turn power off reconnect and go to the 1/4 point of the circuit. You will find this to be the fastest way to find your problem. Make sure power is off and take pics of how things are connected if needed 😂
That male plug that you showed is called a twist lock receptacles. I am pretty sure if you go to a electrical supply shop you would find one still. We use them here for any load you don’t want to accidentally get unplugged due to vibrations etc.
have a great day 🙏👍👍
I hope how I explained it makes sense to everyone. Never tried to explain it in writing. I have just showed people as I was explaining 🙈
Yes very easily understood. Thank you
The twist lock was a special order from the electrical supply house
@@OhioFishRescue-com I would use the standard one you have with a nee cord end as temporary for now. Order the new twist lock receptacle and cord end. Use the regular as a backup that’s hopefully never needed
that sturgeon is a beaut
Thank you big rich ❤️. And josh haha.
Wow
the plug you were looking for is a 3 phase plug and you can buy them but they really aren't common and need to be special ordered from industrial supliers in my experience. I know guys that only run that plug on tools so people don't steal them.
All fish keeps need a "power outage plan"
Most of us really just need a USB battery air stone, but a generator to keep the heater on isn't a bad idea either.
Tanks, back deck and barn running off one breaker is a lot! Each should have its own circuit and breaker Neater, tidier and less impact when something like this happens again
That plug is a twist lock plug
My worst nightmare. I did go thru a power outage in my area for hours and having a 240, 150, 55 and 30 in my house I had to do small water changes for aeration and clean water every 30 mins to hour just because I was so worried. But yea investing in a power supply soon
Who would've thought that the problem would be caused by an ancient plug that's no longer used or manufactured and been there before you were born.
You have a ticking time bomb there
Can you do a video on the yellow sturgeon. Where did it come from? Is it a rescue? How old is it? It’s beautiful
Have yall considered getting a large backup generator or 2?
I had a fault on my phone line a week ago because off dropsy in my tropical fish I has lost 8 had to change things try to stop fighting glad okay now
Beautiful fishes..., This sturgeon is amazing..., but I'm in love with these white snow carassius auratus...this is like a ghost...😍Regards 😘
Maybe a viewer that is an electrician will donate his time to check the system over 😉🙏
cool
Damn, that's an old ass plug.
😁👍
Romex isn’t designed to be exposed to elements. Anything outside should be in conduit. Definitely time to start an electrical project, bigger disaster would be an electrical fire and lose everything. Good luck
And people think a dog is hardwork lol wish i could work here man
great video! since your a expert is a 7x2x2 enough for a silver arowana? (360 gallons)
How are the paddle fish doing?
Is it better to not have so many things relying on ne breaker? Will the sturgeon ever go into the monster pond? It is an awesome fish.
Do you have made a compleet scadule of all your electricety? Whit what is on what breaker etc? This is one of the things that is needed i think. When you have this you also can find out what you need extra or to replace up to date
Just a idea
👍❤
I know the feeling but I didn't get to save mine I tank busy when I was at work and I lost them all
Awe man that sucks
Amazon should have them
la la la lo and ba ba ba behold! big ups
So what was the outside extension cord running?
The way back pond
Aren't you Afraid of having those curtains under the tank what if a spark pops from anything underneath
I feel like it’s only a matter of time till something catastrophic like a fire happens. They really need to redo everything more professionally before something bad occurs
Interesting fishies all blowing Josh kisses
thank you Joch
How much power are you drawing? Do you know? Could be expensive to upgrade your system but necessary.
#TeamTracy
Lucky you didn't lose any fish
Are there any frontosa fry? Do they survive?
I have not seen any
need to hire a security guard. protect the fishies.
this setup is a major fire waiting to happen
How so? Electric at the panel is updated and up to code since 2020. Arc fault protected at the box and each wall outlet gfci protected. Only thing getting plugged in at the wall is an air pump and a few lights. Seems really dangerous to me
A friend just told me about this channel I have a question do you have a store and where are you located
No sorry
Ofr to the rescue @ofr :)
I'm new to seeing your channel. I'm just wondering how come some tanks don't have any shrubs or houses, something for fishes to hide in? I feel sorry for fishes with these BARE tanks... nothing in them for the fishes to enjoy, boring! 😢
I dont know your systems or set ups of course, but do know you have some flood alarms from other videos you have posted. Can you, or do you have the electrical circuits on an alarm, so if power is lost to one or another it will make an audible noise and perhaps a light to show what circuit tripped? I picture a centralized alert center for this. Between bluetooth, WiFi, and other technologies I would think it could be relatively inexpensive and easy to do compared to the value of the fish both literally and sentimentally.
I was thinking the same thing, have an electrical circuit on an alarm esp. with all the livestock at stake.
Unrelated, but how do you guys feed the Pleco tank?
With 3 different types of food daily
That's code it's everywhere yeah they made that code a long time I was just getting out electrical trade when they started bringing that code in
You start in the middle of that circuit and if it still pops you know you got to go towards the panel yeah if you always start in the center of your circuit saves you a lot of work
Did you have to redo any of this video after your dad almost spilt the beans? Just curious Josh, thanks for the whole story 😉
Nope I never redo videos. What ya see is what you get. 😁
Maybe your having a power shortage that's why your power went out. That's what happen to us before or maybe your electrical wires are way to small for the power consumption of your facility
It’s time for a new electrical line from the road and new panel. You guys use so much electric. Getting scary at this point. House on one panel. Fish room has its own. Keep things simpler. ❤❤❤
Fishroom/pool room has 2 panels. House has 2 panels. Service has been upgraded.
Glad you solved it. Why is that poor sturgeon is in that small tank?
that sturgeon is in a good sized tank
@@Praise402 even the 3000gal would be too small...
when a monster fish is in small tank , means its a grow out tank
