    Default GFCI on aquarium equipment outlet?

    This thread got me thinking:

    http://www.aquaticcommunity.com/aqua...ad.php?t=44411

    Does anyone use a GFCI on their aquarium equipment outlet?

    Could avert a very dangerous situation, no? Although I also wonder what would happen if there was no drip loop and water dripped inside the GFCI - that can't be good, even if the GFCI trips.

    I don't, but I should. CFCI is a good idea, it can't hurt! Just keep the power strip or extension cord a foot or so off the floor with a drip loop.
    When in doubt, do a water change.
