    i have all pump in water.. and IF it's the stray current i cant find which one of the 19 pumps i have is the one leaking.. if only one -.-

    if i had all outside pump (mag driven) it wont happen a stray current in tank..

    i measured up to 7 volts.. that should not be much.. but maybe enough as the boss told before..

    damn..

    wow, your just gonna have to disconnect all of them and start with the lights. then move on to the main pump. and so on. i have a feeling with so many pumps in the water the residual effect of electromagnetic energy is going to be a constant in itself producing a measurable current, but i could be wrong.

    well we can eliminate the lights.. they are suspended and on a different wire sys (they have the ACLS and makes a lot of electric noise..)

    pumps in water are many... i tryed to disconnect some.. but i read variable numbers.. from 2 to 17 volts.. as isnt only 1 thing...

    but will go on investigate..
    sob..

    shut the entire system down with the exception of the lights and measure the voltage. sometimes lights cause this effect, then you wont have to mess with the umpteen million pumps.

    ok.. tnx to my father we tested all the tank and..
    surprise..
    the HQI induced 26volts that can be measured as 17v under the 400W 11v under the 250w and 7 to 2 volts around the tank..

    no pumps are defected..

    just inducted electricity .. probably because my plafo is just 5 inch over the water (cant put higher for some trouble..

    we will check it when the light will be off ..
