We hear stories of tank disasters all the time but never think it will happen to us.I was fortunate and got by with a close one last week.I never noticed a little salt spray hitting the wall behind my 150 cube and rolling down the wall.Was the outlet GFCI ? Nope, is it now?Yep. I was sitting watching tv when there was a flash and the power went out.I jumped up and went to the tank and looked around and saw the outlet was smoked.I went to the breaker box and found it had tripped ( thank goodness).I left it tripped and got my back up generator going and plugged all 3 tanks into it for the night.The next day I went and got some GFCI outlets.It could have turned out really bad if I hadn't been there.All I can say is to learn from others and keep your fish friends and investments protected by simply having them on a protected outlet or a GFCI breaker. If you're some what handy they are fairly easy to install, if you're not then I would have an electrician come put them in.Happy Reefing
