Got shocked by my tank water!

[budddman]

Narrowed it down to the pump on my tunze 9002 skimmer. Would a grounding probe helped? All the corals and fish seemed fine, but it was enough power to make me not want to put my hand in there a second and 3rd time.

With a grounding probe it would have tripped the breaker.

Yes, a GP will help. It will help you and not your livestock. The shock you got is because the stray current in your tank found a way to reach the ground by using your body as a medium. The GP will become the medium to ground that current.

However, you must replace the pump that is bad. GP will not fix that.

Good luck.

unplug one item at a time and check the water. keep going until you find it and replace.

You spend too much time staring at your T-5's! The current was coming from my skimmer pump. Trial and error part of figuring out where the current was coming from, sucked

Had this issue with my skimmer pump. I put a ground probe in and that didn't fix the problem. The only fix is to replace the bad pump.

Replace the pump. If it gets worse, could mess up your tank and you!

Grounding probes do not elminate, misconception. Once you are getting shocked u have to replace what has gone bad.

years ago I received poor advice and purchased 2 probes for no reason. Skimmer pump was leaking electricity, sucked to work on the tank bare foot. New pump wass the only solution.

A $10 voltmeter could have saved you the nerve endings...
