I have read that the grounding probe completes the circuit through the tank which creates more stress for the inhabitants. I know there are conflicting opinions regarding the necessity of grounding probes in our aquariums but it is certain that a GFI is needed if one is installed.

I should install a GFI for my tank equipment. Multiple GFI's are best to keep one 'trip' from turning off all equipment.
