I didn't notice any zaps when I put my hand in the water but I wear crocs around the house so I don't know if those would make a difference. The pump runs fine and there are no odd wiring where it attaches to the pump. It was used as a calcium reactor pump for a number of years and has sat around for about 3 years or so doing nothing. This morning I think I might try it in a bathroom GFCI and see if it trips all of them or just the one I want to plug it in on.

As for the GFCI's I think they're all brand new or just a couple months old.

No splashes or moisture on the GFCI its well above and to the side of the tank (plus I inspected it, no sweats or salt creep).
