That is sooo true LOL. 1500v rocks your world too, got some scars to prove that. LOL

How old are your pumps? Id be calling Tunze. 35v leakage is NOT COOL. Sounds like the case on the pump has a defect in it, expoing the windings to the water. If the GFCI tripped plugging the Tunze in when ground probe installed.

The light shade should be grounded, and you stated that you got shocked with light out as well, so I could rule the light out. I have seen instances in HO-T12 lights, where the ballast would induce 40-50V into the reflector/shade. But that was with a Magnetic ballast installed in the light, inducing a voltage into the shade, not acctually shorting or leaking. Anything that has a magnetic field, can induce electricity into metal near it.
