I keep everything but the return pump on a GFCI.

Regarding electrical reliability...I have my tank plugged into two circuits. With pumps divided between them. That way if one should trip, I will still maintain flow.

[Sir Patrick]

and also keep a close eye on my skimmer box- it overflowed, and ran into my electrical

Someone at this site or another was asking about GFIs they did not want to use one b/c chance of knocking out tank. I duggested using 3 or 4 seperated from circuit. I believe they are necessay but dont have any right now

[whitetiger61]

had the power go out and overflowed the fuge..thats why lil woman wont let me have a drilled tank anymore

[igot2gats]

Sir Patrick - how do plug everything in, if you have no outlets behind the tank?

[jimsflies]

Yeah, you need to have enough headboard design into your sump to not overflow when the power is out.

If I bump- pay no attention, its faster than refresh for me
