So sorry to hear about your disaster.

The more of these stories I see, the more I think even on a smaller system there is no way i wouldn't have at least a controller that can send alerts, and a battery backup. On a bigger system with all that time, livestock(emotional attachment), and money involved I'd want a backup generator.

Palting, I'm so very sorry, I just found this.

I end up plugging at least one pump and a heater into non GFI when we go out because I can't trust them not to trip. GFI does prevent us from getting shocked and while GFI might prevent fires in certain cases that is not what it was designed for.

I like GFI when I am less than 6 hours away from the tank.

Anyway this tank was my inspiration and I can't wait to see it running again, so please keep at it!
