you should get a gfi and keep the grounding probe

but until you get the gfi, you should disconnect the grounding probe. (but you'll be at risk of building a charge on your tank, discharged when your body or something else bridges it and something grounded)

Doing the above prevents electricity from continuously flowing to whatever your grounding probe is attached to. (and lighting your house on fire, or charging up something else in the house as a fun surprise)
