I used to have a T8 canopy light fixture sitting on top of my refugium/QT that was producing stray voltage in the tank. I don't know exactly how that was happening, as the canopy was not in contact with the water, just sitting on top of the glass tank. It was plastic, too. But when I turned it off the stray voltage would disappear, so it was definitely happening.

I also had a few different pumps that would produce stray voltage, so now just have ground probes in everything. No more stray voltage.

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.
