Default GROUNDING PROBE

Should I use a grounding probe in my reef tank?
I'm looking for a yes or no response here.
This question is not meant to get yes responses so that I do not get shocked due to having faulty equipment. It is a question that if I have all my equipment in proper working condition, will using a grounding probe benifit in the health of my livestock?

You can never be sure your equipment will CONTINUE to work correctly. So I vote yes’ you really should use one. 20$ spent as insurance for the lifetime of your hobby is a good deal.

I never even questioned it. I've always had one.
