Default More issues with curing rock

I have gone ahead and am creating a reservoir of RO/DI water in a large plastic container in which I will drop the live rock for curing when I get it.

Currently (no pun intended) when I stick my hand in the water, I get zapped with a small jolt of electricity. How is that possible? The DI portion of my plumbing (hey all the plumbing was actually fun) drops through the ceiling from my kitchen after a T connection (other end goes to drinking water). I read about grounding etc.. but I was more concerned with that in regards to my tank rather than the precursor curing stage - should I be grounding the curing "vat"?

This reservoir is at regular salinity right? Not just RO/DI freshwater?

A small zap everytime?? I would shut off everything in your "vat" and stick you hand in to see if it still happens - then turn on each piece of equipment (heater, powerhead, light) one at a time and see when you get a zap - I have one light that can give me good zap when there is to much salt creep on it adn of course this causes a trail to the water and bammm. Kinda a good lesson that makes sure you keeps things clean == and replace/repair any faulty equipment.

Cheers
Rich
