Why would your tank crash after 1 day of no power? Unless you have no heat in your house and live in Antarctica I don't see a tank crash happening in a 1 day span.

After having had a couple of close calls with electricity, I think the peace of mind is worth the minute amount of risk that comes with using a GFCI. Personally I'd rather have functioning organs and dead fish than vice-versa.
