Just thought I would share this awesome find.

It's a GFCI that beeps when tripped!!! I didn't know they exist until I replaced a bad one and couldn't find anything else.

I think that it's a great idea for behind a tank that you might not notice.

I didn't know they had these either, it is a good idea for when you don't notice the circuit is tripped, but if I wasn't home for a few hours I'm not sure my dog would appreciate it.
 
They also make them for a breaker box.
Audible ones?

I know they make the gfci, afci, and cafci's as breakers. Feel like that look would be a funny service call.. my breaker panel is beeping at me.
 
Working with the electrician, we decided that 3 dedicated breakers for each aquarium should work. Since getting to the outlets might be tricky for a 4 ft tank, putting the GFCI in the breaker box was best. It’s not too noisy. They are easy to reset
