Get a new heater & skimmer pump. Clearly these 2 components have issues.

I read some voltage when making measurements in my tank (been a while, but IIRC, less than 10). 60+ volts is scary & unsafe. I don't use a ground probe. The wiki article sums it up pretty well. Use GFCI or multiple GFCI, keep electrical cords out of the water. Use as much low voltage DC equipment as possible, don't fully submerge any heater, no matter what the manufacturer claims.
