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.

Yikes man. Too many losses for you in one week Tony!

Seems like lots of us are suffering losses ATM. I lost my true perc today,, but I have myself to blame for that in the end.

Anyways, sorry for the losses
