So my electrical is all good. But I think I found my silent killer. My t5s are putting off 4-7v into the water. If I raise them above the tank 6 inches the meter reads 0 again, and unplugging puts it to zero. Good thing I'm getting an ai sol lol

As far as the Harlequins are concerned, if you don't supplement their diets once the pests are gone, you'll starve them to death. Not a very Conscientios Aquariast
And about your lights, that's not unheard of. Flourescents can actually give off a 'field' of static electricity (for lack of the term right now)

Yup, weird how the florescent lights puts stray voltage into the water. I had the same problem.

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