    I was reading like .5mA, but I realized that was dc. I re checked ac voltage and was getting ~1.25vac in one tank and ~2.5vac in the other using a better ground. I had 0mA on the ac setting for current.

    I thought you said you were seeing 50 V in your tanks?

    If you are only measuring 1.25 V and 2.50 V, you have nothing to worry about.

    I did measure 50v the other day but to a different ground. This time i went to a bit more reliable ground. I'm going to play around some more and see what I get.

    Ahh, okay. Make sure to do a reading with the tanks not grounded. That is the most important one.
