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.

Sorry I may not have been clear. What I want is to run 2 new 15 amp lines that would only supply power to the tanks. That would remove the rest of the basement receptacles as they would then be on another line. So I would end up with 1 receptacle for 15amp circuit + 1 more receptacle on a 15 amp circuit then the 4 other receptacle sharing 1 15 amp circuit that is unrelated to the tanks
