 |  Electric!!!
So I just put my had in the tank and i am feeling a slight shocking feeling where I have cuts on my cuticles. Does this mean i have an electric current going through my tank, and if so, what can I do to fix it, nothing looks bad as of now. |

All saltwater tanks should have a ground probe in there no matter if you feel it or not. Especially if you have submerged pumps in the water column. _________ Scott 265g (Peninsula)

Saltwater also produces its on electrical current , Thats why all Boats have anode caps on all the out drives Those silver zinc tabs and bolt caps are the sacrificial lambs so to speak . _________ Some of the world's greatest feats were accomplished by people not smart enough to know they were impossible (Doug Larson) | |

I had my LFS order one for me. They charged me about $15. You can get them on eBay also. It is definitely a must. You need one now.

DEFINITELY made a difference in my tank! Everything is doing better since I put one in. Don't add any new livestock until you get the probe...
