[phenom5]

GFCI do go bad, and start to trip really easily...and when that happens you replace it.

Don't want to have your tank get taken out if it trips...set up two. That way if one trips, your tank won't be completely out of power.

Paul you must love people that pay you for a simple job like replacing an outlet...seriously, it's not that difficult.

GFCIs cost less than 15 bucks...seems cheap considering.

Now, I don't know that it saved my life, but I do know I had all my livestock in a temp set up while I made some changes to my display a few years back. I knock the light into the water, and instinctively I immediately reached in and grab it. GFCI tripped. Would the shock have killed me? No idea, but not something I'd like to find out one way or the other. Just my 2 cents on the matter.
