I am glad this had a great outcome. I had thought about putting in a gfi but forgot about it and well too late now I guess I should do up a will just in case

still easy to do. one gfi with protect those downsteam or if hard to figure which, just replace the breaker (bit more expensive than receptacle)

Lol all this gfi talk and I'm sitting here reading it.... The heater I have in my frag tank blows lights flicker. Ambiance of a paranormal activity. And the aroma of burnt water... Carry on..

Lol, that's why I went titanium. I can totally see why you'd want several GFI's and strategically group certain pieces of equipment together and not with other pieces. Nothing like your whole tank being shut down while you're not at home because one basically trivial piece of equipment fails.
