This is the way. I'd bet money something on that circuit has either a short or break in the cable somewhere.
there is only three plugs left and 2 are my mp40

Modern GFCIs are pretty reliable. I would not put my tank on a GFCI breaker (single point of failure). Multiple GFCIs, one per critical piece of equipment in a DIY power box are a decent option, but outside the scope of most peoples skills.To each their own but GFCI is not a good idea when life support is involved. GFCI is highly susceptible to common radio frequently interference. Nuisance GFCI trips are very common and almost encouraged. Do the research and choose the right option for yourself.
*Update*
Power supply found to be burned. Smells really bad.
Wondering now how this could have happened and why
Yes I looked and there is salt creepLooks like salt creep shorted out the IEC plug… but could also just be a bad power supply that went to ground and caused an arc there.
Well glad you figured it outYes I looked and there is salt creep
Could be as simple as a bad connection which eventually arced out. You’d be surprised how hot a small little arc can get and how much damage it can create.*Update*

You got a short somewhere.That plug is not on a GFCI
House was built 2017 , no GFCI on this living room wall. Only in restrooms , kitchen , laundry etc
it popped the circuit breaker
Well glad you figured it out
That’s the thing my electrical outlet is right behind my sump . Literally right behind itYou got a short somewhere.
If you not have a reasonable knowledge with electricity then get an electrician.
You can unplug everything and have a long extension cord from a GFCI outlet and plug in one device at a time until you find the problem device.
Fix and replace the device
You may have salt creep that got to your outlet and short the outlet rather than equipment that short the outlet
Having an outlet behind the sump and not accessible and not GFCI and salt water is a Huge NO NO. House get burn down that way.
Good luck.
With electricity if you don’t know, don’t do it. It can kill you. I don’t know how competent you are so it is really hard to give advices.
Sorry I am a day late and a dollar short. I am glad you got things figured out.
Had a incident where a bathroom gfi kept tripping when not in use. Eventually we saw it happen. The long haired cat would jump up on the counter and when it brushed against the gfi it would pop. One more reason to have dogs vs catsTo each their own but GFCI is not a good idea when life support is involved. GFCI is highly susceptible to common radio frequently interference.

It got wet.Wondering now how this could have happened and why
They are metal halides i just purchased themIt got wet.
You have 1,000 watts of lighting? Throw out those lights and get LEDs. Your electric bill must be enormous.
You don't need an electrician. Just throw out that piece of equipment or have someone who knows what they are doing replace the plug on it.

This appears not to be a surge protector, rather and 8 outlet power strip. Prolly has nothing to do with your issue, but if you are wanting surge protection, it appears this is not giving it to you.**Update**
Just right now everything shut off that was hooked up to the new surge protector connected to a different room now and it tripped the breaker now to that room .
I’m using my old surge now to see if this trips as well. If it does then I might take every outlet off and do the process of elimination
I broke down tank . Using too much electricity was the issue I’m using 15 amp breakerThis appears not to be a surge protector, rather and 8 outlet power strip. Prolly has nothing to do with your issue, but if you are wanting surge protection, it appears this is not giving it to you.
I am just pointing out that the strip plug in the pic looks to be NOT a surge protector.I broke down tank . Using too much electricity was the issue I’m using 15 amp breaker
