    My clown loaches and eels suddenly started dying off I stuck my hand in the tank the other day and I could feel electricity around my fingernails so I put a tester on the LED's and submerge it in some water and sure enough the waters has [​IMG]a charge

    Two words- Grounding Probe, and to try and get the emiiter out of the water too.
    I hope the tank and assessories are on a GFCI outlet?

    Seattle wall plug with 12 volts coming out of it I talk to the corporate people that made it they're supposed to be getting back to me hopefully with some kind of settlement I thought I had some kind of disease going through my tank lost over $1,000 over the period of about 7 months so watch out for those led bubble walls that are not in cased in a glass tube Aloha have a good one
