Maybe a little off track but sort of related...


I wanted to add a UPS to my system, we're out in the country and our power "flickers" a lot. I was hoping the ups would eliminate this flicker as far as the tanks inhabitants are concerned (no more real quick stop-start on the powerheads, lights, etc.) However, if I plug the UPS into my GFI outlet, and the GFI trips would the UPS not negate any safety benefits by interpreting the GFI tripping as a power outage and providing the power anyways? Is there a way for me to have reliable power AND safety?
