Think I've seen some kind of water-on-the-floor alarm at Home Depot - the name "Screamer" comes to mind. Not really going to touch this one any further than that!!

I know some home alarm systems also have moisture-on-the-floor sensors, so there ought to be a few options out there..

Those water sensors/screamers are quite cheap. I recall buying 3 or 4 of them for less than $10 each. They occupy all kinds of strategic spots in the fish room. I set one off the other day just with a few drips off my hand...

The Aquatronica also has one that is stoopid overpriced...but since it is linked to the controller I'll probably buy it eventually.

I now run a gfi thanks to a short i found in my MH fixture. Of course i found it while my hand was at the bottom of my 24" tank. Talk about getting zapped. WOW. It played out in slow motion of course. One hand on light one hand in water, and i couldn't for the life of me let go of the fixture until i started screaming and then i fell off my ladder.
