GFI saved my life tonight

If there all in series if the fist one on the line blows it will kill all the rest after it , same as if you have a gfi contolling several outlets . Or is there a different way to wire them up so they don't do that?

I don't have any. If anyone notices I don't post for a while, you know what happened

Wire the devices in parallel. Means a lot of splices/marette connections, more wiring & cost of additional GFCI outlets. Essentially you continue to the next GFCI outlet by running wire from a marette splice instead of from the load terminals on the first GFCI outlet.

I think it's overkill as well to have 13, but I guess it depends on how many heaters, pumps, etc. you have & how critical you consider them on your system. I have 2 GFCI outlets each on a different circuit breaker. Haven't experienced a nuisance trip yet or tank crash as a result of GFCI shenanigans.
