SRC Member Hairul Hakim Posted April 4, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 4, 2014 Yeah actually already making it. The 3 pieces are in a separate tank curing with epoxy. Gonna make like a small overhang. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRC Member Hairul Hakim Posted April 6, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 6, 2014 Opinions.... Should I add a reactor and bio pellets now or should I run it after cycling is complete? Running chaeto as well, but very small compartment as my sump is now broken down to only 2 parts since the huge skimmer can't fit the original partition.

SRC Member Hairul Hakim Posted April 11, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 11, 2014 Everything is in order. Skimmer broke in, rowa and bio pellet tumbling well. However, one major issue. Found out that my water has some sort of current in it when I stuck my hand in. Tried turning on and off one by one equipment, but still can't identify which equipment. Anyone can recommend another way how to find out? Sighs Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tofubox Posted April 11, 2014 Share Posted April 11, 2014 I had this problem too, and was quite serious, if i put my hand there, can get a good small shock. You basically have to switch off one item at a time to identify which equipment is leaking the current. I traced mine to be the return pump, simply replaced mine as it was a cheap pump anyways.

SRC Member ASHWIN Posted April 12, 2014 SRC Member Share Posted April 12, 2014 Get A Testpen Off All Equip. On one by one and see the pen light up not.. My 100% bet is your Pump wire..Sure broke or bent..Just inspect Your Reactor Pumps or skimmer..if not better test using testpen..Sometimes got fine cracked cant be seen from The naked Eye Cheers!

SRC Member Hairul Hakim Posted April 13, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 13, 2014 Hi guys, need some help. Quite a few of my equipment are actually 'releasing volts' into the water. Checked with a test pen and on one by one. Basically the wp40, skimmer and return pump. However, all these items are all under warranty. I do read tho that all equipment actually do discharge volts into the water body for the tank, however, what is the acceptable level and what isn't?

resser Posted April 13, 2014 Share Posted April 13, 2014 Remove suspected equipment, plugged directly into some other wall socket and test it in a pail of low salinity water (waste less salt). Bring it quickly for replacement if tested positive. Otherwise, it's your multi-pin plugs. Can't be that unlucky. Quote Materialism :- He who dies with the most toys, wins.

SRC Member Hairul Hakim Posted April 14, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 14, 2014 Bought a multimeter already. What's the approved voltage for standard equipment to be leaking btw? Cause I read that all equipment usually have some kind of power surge cause of the magnetic field and strips especially from power heads and light sets. Anyone knows what's the so called approved volts? Read online that above 50 is considered not safe but that's based in us forums. Same with us?

SRC Member Hairul Hakim Posted April 14, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 14, 2014 Sighs. This is getting annoying. Tested all my equipment with the multimeter. Every single item is giving off about 0.3 volts. When I turn on the whole tank, the water is sitting at 0.8 volts. So what is leaking? Can't seem to figure it out. I'm still getting the tingling sensation when I put my hand in the tank. I don't consider these normal as I never had a tank that had these effect before. Anyone who knows about electric cares to give their input? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tofubox Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 Have u tried isolating one equipment at a time? Switch off everything, and turn it on one at a time till u find the culprit causing the volt to jump 0.8 Quote  I Love Stagsss Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I love angel Posted April 14, 2014 Share Posted April 14, 2014 You need to pull out the plug to isolate not just turn off the switch. The neutral is still connected when you switched off the switch, it will leak to any live or earth or your probe, it is a earth connection. So need to pull out all the plugs. And one by one insert back to the sockets and turn on and check. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SRC Member Hairul Hakim Posted April 15, 2014 Author SRC Member Share Posted April 15, 2014 as I said, tried all the methods. Every single equipment was giving off 0.3-0.4 volts into the water. One equipment at a time and a new power point, even tried it with just plain water. When everyting is up and full running in the tank, it's 0.8-0.9 volts in the water. And I'm still feeling the tingle sensation when I place my hand In the tank. Anyone else knows what could be the issue?
