If it is the wall one change it. they go bad and start tripping more easy.

and just to be sure, the wall gfi isn't the same circut as the gfi breaker, right?

The breaker is a gfi/arc fault that controls the room the tank is in. Never trips when power fails. The other is a separate circuit, installed just for the tank. Its on its own regular 15amp breaker, which is the breaker I tripped for the test.

Yes, its a wall unit, that I installed. Its brand new. Its runs my controller, which runs the sump equipment, heater, halide and so on. The other circuit has my Vortechs on them, so when the other fails, both Vortechs are still running, plus I put an axillary heater on this circuit when away.
