Default Lost my pair of flame angels to a GFCI trip :(

Sorry, just venting.

Came home to find one of my GFCI's had tripped earlier in the day. Two tanks were flatlined, my 110g cube and my 20g nano. The juvenile flame angels I had since December in the 20g sadly did not make it.

I am so mad at myself because today was like one day that I had not had a chance to check on things earlier. Although in all likelihood they were already dead when I was at work, but I'll never know.

I need an alarm or a controller that alarms when the power goes out.

This is my one rant about GFCI's. I have had them trip out for no apparent reason several times. I've had flatlined tanks for up to 8 hours before with no loss of life, but today was more like 11 hours flatlined and I guess this time the fish would not be so lucky.

The weirdest thing is I was just away for nearly two weeks, and this happens 3 days after I get back.

Sighhhh .... this hobby has a nasty sting sometimes.
