A GFI wont really help your situation.
All a GFI does is cut the power to an item if it drops in the water. They are designed for use in bathrooms so when a hair dryer or curling iron etc falls in the tub or sink, no is electrocuted.
We as reefers use them to stop the electricity when we do something dumb like drop the lights in the tank or smash a heater.

What you need to have done is install a higher rated breaker. You will need an electrician to advise on this. If you continue to overload the circuit as you are now, you will either cause the breaker to fail or could cause an electrical fire. So be careful.
