| ANIMAL LIFE SAFETY IN AQUARIUMS CSI NUMBER/NAME |
| I ran into an issue trying to find out the CSI Section number for Animal Life Safety Systems in Aquariums. Has anyone else found an appropriate CSI number? They want to use section 240000 Life Support Safety Systems :facepalm: and I figured that others here could have a better solution. “This specification is an outline specification for all systems, piping, equipment, and appurtenances indicated on the life support system drawings.” is what the section summary is.
