Thanks for responding, its a relief we are on the same page.  I come hear to learn, easier here than the hard knocks way.  Appreciate those who take the time to discuss and share.

Check this post out below, it explains how, but sadly without the original pics.

I heard he was electrocuted and died.....  

While GFCI are great, they are basically used to prevent electrical shocks from water.   So, when I am blow drying my hair while in the bathtub, I am thankful their is a GFCI involved.   For my airpump, skimmer, ozone generator, non-submersible pump, calcium reactor, co2 valve, peristaltic pump, lights, cooling fan, DC gyres, DC submersible pumps,  closed loop pump, closed loop drum, skimmer neck cleaner, fuge light.. I don't use a GFCI. 

My god these aquariums use a lot of stuff !!    

I have an AFCI on everything, but only a GFCI on my heater.  I have me one of those big tanks so my heater circuit is its only 15amp circuit.  When I need heat an inkbird closes a contactor that powers two outlets.  Each one of those outlets have their own GFCI (with separate grounds).

In concept, you could plug This GFCI device into each EB832 (or EB8) outlet, and then plug a heater into it.
