Who has a grounding probe in their tank?

I use a GFI instead. Otherwise, you're running the risk of zapping your fish.

I have a question, I have 2 grounding probes and when the electrician was here doing
some work, I asked him about the testing, that is mentioned in the instructions. He had
no idea what it was talking about. So they are still sitting in the closet. Iam also a bit
confused as how they could zap the fish. Do they absorb stray voltage, Iam confused.
Please explain for us dumbies.

Before u buy one buy a voltage stick put just the tip in your water or on the glass even and see if it lights up if it does you need one if it dosent you dont have a ground problem

Easy as pie to hook up. One end is just a plastic probe, like a temp probe, and then plug the other end into an electrical outlet.

Does it matter whether it's direct into the wall or into a controller's power bar?
