I also use cuts on my finger and stick them in the tank if there's stray current wandering around to figure out which device is responsible.... so don't take too much electrical advice from me :D

Heavy inductive loads as well as noise from electronic ballasts can cause false trips on GFCI's.

Somewhere here and/or on RC I posted a bunch of info on that relative to Stanley/Belkin pigtail GFCI devices.

Electrical noise can make its way back to the panelboard to trip GFCI's on other circuits as well.
