Current Leak in Tank

[JustinK]

Sheesh, i put my fingers into the water today and kena a slight sensation on it. Realised that it's due to a faulty multi plug i am using and it was connected to my chiller. Changed it and now the sensation is gone, hopefully the current leak too... Jus wondering, will anything terrible happen to my LS? They all still seem fine to me...

Stray current will affect fish...try to ground your tank..

hmm... doesn't make sense... the electric current should not flow thru the fish as there is no potential difference across the boody of the fish... just like if u wear rubber boots, you can touch the tank water with electricity leak and you won't feel a thing.

Now i know why my clowns have that sudden shaking fit yesterday when i was observing them... sigh... hope they will recover, noticed that one of them has a slight problem with them fins. guess i have always taken for granted about the safety of the electrical equipment, its time to get a grounding probe... better safe than sorry...
