just a few quick ?'s Forgive me if I missed seeing them in this thread.

What salt are you using?
RO water, filtered or purchased?

I have been using Instant Ocean since I started the tank I have been slowly switching to Instant Ocean Reef Crystals since January. I was using RO/DI for a few months now with my own RO system which is a newer system with new filters.

There is electricity in my tank. I am getting 42V in the system total. I found 20V just in one pump, so its out of the tank now. The other voltage is from ATO, Return Pump, power heads... about 2V per.

How much is too much?

Bump anyone?

Hard to say. I don't know of any studies done testing that.
ANY amount is too much, in my opinion.

Have you put that grounding probe in there yet?

What type of grounding probe material would you use? Aluminum?

I believe the ones that the LFS sells have a titanium probe end which is attached to a wire that you attach with a screw to a nearby grounded electrical outlet.
Aluminum may just oxidize over and become useless. I don't know.

Grounding probes are usually Titanium.
