Thats not the best way to do it. Trust me I know from experience. last week I had a total tank crash because 1 of my GFI triggered and shut down all of my pumps and powerheads. The 1 with my lights was fine. Go with a minimum of 3 and place your pumps etc on more than 1 circuit. My house was safe, but my tank was dead.

Thats a good point, also a GFI breaker will not protect your whole house it will only protect the circuit that its running on.
