![]() Actually, it felt like I got zapped. I had a small cut on my finger that I hadn't noticed. It's amazing how much pain salt water can cause on an open wound. It has happened to me twice now!

![]() its probably stray voltage in the water not the salt causing the zap feeling, you can just feel it through your cut where your skin would normally block it, get a grounding probe and check your powerheads and heater

![]() your skin blocks something like 32 or 35volts
so chances are its just a little bit of stray voltage in the tank which you could now feel since the skin was penetrated. grounding probe will solve the problem

![]() Btw, I do have a ground probe in the tank. Stray voltage is something to consider. But I'll be darned if the pain doesn't come from a the slightest cut on my fingers I hadn't noticed before

![]() OUCH! sounds really painful!
I don't think I have had that experience before, but it almost always make my hand/arm itchy after putting it in the water. I try my best to put on my long sleeve glove as much as possible but sometimes its just get kind of too annoying, you know..........?
