I'm sorry, I really did kinda laugh when I got to this part. It was the only sentence I understood!!!
I guess then it's just a question of sometimes these things trip GFCI's, and sometimes they don't ... and you'd have to be an electrician or engineer to understand the difference
The only reason I started this thread is, I've been letting my 3 year old dump his tank in the tank to feed the fish. I give him flake or pellets, if he doesn't stick his hand into the water then the fish food mostly sticks to his hands and it's just easier to shake it off and let the fish eat the food that comes off. He loves it, the fish love it, he loves that the fish love it and it makes me happy to see him happy - it's just one of those "parenting" moments I guess.
.... I'd just hate to think I'm subjecting him to risk by letting him do this ... One day I'm might forget to stick my finger in the water first to make sure there's no zap zap..
In all my years of reefing though I've only had leakages twice (and this is one of them). The other one was a failed pump as well... I still just find it odd that the GFCI didn't trip. I'd ask for an explanation but I'm starting to really feel dumb and inadequate here... Uh .. I work in software.
