    I'd find out why it's blowing fuses

    its only blown once in 2 years of constant use may have just been time for fuse to go kind of thing but there was no smell or discolor to the fuse

    i really wouldn't worry about a slight drop like that for a short period. to much heat is far more dangerous than to little. as far as feeding goes as long as your temps are ok now i would go ahead and feed em.
