I took your advice last night and tried to play with the impeller after it quit while in a pale of water and OH MY GOD!!!!!!!!

ZAP - Thank God I have no hair because it would have been standing on end...

The pump is shorted and that is that :(

New one will be on of the following 3:

Sedra 20000
Mag-Drive 1800
Euro Reef GX 6000 (like the original one that zapped me)

any recommendations from the top 3?
I don't want to add heat to the system...
