Good timing on this topic- I'm going to the hardware store this weekend for a GFI...

I'm no electrician, but agree with golden69, a GFI trip is not the same as circuit breaker trip. For those folks who have had GFI trips but nothing is wrong with the tank equipment, maybe there was something wrong with the GFI itself. I don't know how they're designed, but it could be that if they are broken they fail in the off position. Bad for the tank, but nobody gets electrocuted. On ReefCentral there are some topics on this- seems like quite a few people manage to electrocute themselves.
