Or did you have a ground probe? I am trying to understand if GP or GFI would have done better.

 

[reefsandrotts]

Have both a gp and gfi but i guess it didnt trip fast enough.

That is very sad. Well you did what you could. I guess it is just the gimmicks of this hobby. I am not a chalice person, but I can give you frags of what I have.

Let me know when you are ready to re-seed.
