I am looking to rig up a GFCI powerstrip to satisfy my aquarium electrical needs and space considerations.
I would just install the outlets but I live in an apartment thus I am looking to install the outlets to an extention cable.
My questions is if I install the outlets in a four outlet box, (functionally I already did this), would it be a waste to have four GFCI outlets. Is there a benefit of doing this rather than just having the first outlet a GFCI and the subsequent outlets being standard 3 pronge outlets. Wouldnt the first GFCI functionally make the subsequent standard outlets GFCI as well??
Not an electrical expert, just thinking out loud.
