I had a bad day…GFCI randomly went out in the tank.

How much room is there between the sump and the outlet?

Maybe a foot.

The issue is that the outlets are below the glass.

It would twist my back into a pretzel maneuvering in that space but with care and stubby screw drivers I feel like I could swap that out without moving anything.. But I'm no electrician lol. I'd put cardboard to protect the glass.. He probably has best practice in mind tho

Sounds like solar might be your solution!

Maybe that could be the issue. It’s about 20 years old. Thank you for responding.

I will see what the electrician says tomorrow. I kind of made this thread to get some possible answers as to what it could/might be.

Definitely a bad GFCI. The spring is probably weak. I have one in my kitchen that trips randomly.

Nm, didn't read far enough down.

I would say try plugging your extension cord back into the GFI outlet under the fish tank. This happens to me sometimes the GFI will pop and keep popping for 10 minutes and then all of a sudden resets and it’s fine for a couple months. I believe there’s something shorting inside one of my Apex energy bars.

That's not good. That's how your house burns down.
