That is so harsh. Sorry for your losses.

Have been there myself, I really feel for you. Good luck, hope the remaining survivors hang on for you.

Dang Bill, that totally sucks. If you need anything like salt to do water changes, let me know. You have my number.

I use a ground probe instead of a GFCI. I've had bad experiences with GFCI plugs and breakers.
