Haven't had a false trip with all of mine since starting this hobby (~6yrs). They do fail though, after a true false trip I'd be replacing.

Geez Tony. Sorry for the loss. Although I would never run anything without GFI circuits, they can be a pain sometimes. I always try to run multiple,s on any one tank.

My current one has a tank only circuit, with a GFI in the cabinet and some of the equipment runs on the house GFI/Arc Fault circuits.

I,m guessing some of the controllers can let you know when something like that happens but I dont know how much good that would be, if nobody was around to correct the problem.

That really sucks... Sorry to hear about your Angels...

What kind og GFCI are you using? Could it be they are just a crummy brand/model?

I would replace your GFCI if you think they tripped for no reason, GFCI can also trip on an overload so you could have been drawing just over 15A and it is taking along time to heat up to a trip condition.

I feel your pain, sorry to hear about that. I personally just had my 28g tank crash when a 9 year old kid dumped all my fish food into the tank, 4 hours before I came home.
