I just read on reefcentral that grounding probes can cause more harm than good! Now I'm confused. The reason I'm making one is because of my friends tank. He said that he was getting zapped by his tank. I put my finger in the water and felt nothing but when he put his in, he'd get shocked! It looked quite painful too. I tried several times but I never felt a shock. He said that I was insensitive. We started unplugging stuff one by one and found his pump to be the culprit. I thought that a ground probe would be his solution but on canreef they are saying it will make it worse. Right now he can't replace the pump untill he can find a replacement. So what do we do? The pump is a beckett 535 pond pump. Is there anyway to fix the voltage leak?
