So i have 2 coralife timer/power centers hooked up to my tank. One is the double timer and 1 is the single digital one. The double wheel one tripes my GFCI when i plug it in. I have checked each individual itemn plugged into the power center and non of them trip it but when i plug the actual power center into the gfci it trips it. What exactly does this mean and is it dangerous?

It sounds like to me your power center is leaking current somewhere. Can't say if its dangerous or not because we don't know what the exact problem is. :) But I would personally replace it just to be safe... no reason to skimp with electrical issues.

When you plug in just the timer without anything plugged into it does it trip? If so I would toss it or get a new one.

I'd toss it.
