Getting shocked when touching my tanks water!??!

[Dom]

Is this safe? Like it didn’t feel very strong but is it safe for me to do that and not get severely shocked?

Use a volt meter and plug in each device one at a time. When you get a voltage reading, that's the faulty device.

Yes, please use a voltmeter/multimeter and not our fingers... That's all I've ever been trying to say here

Thanks, Dom!

If anyone’s curious; this thread dives into the difference between erroneous stray voltage readings, and actual electrical shock hazards in a bit more detail…

I am trying to get a Patent and Trademark on my new aquarium-voltmeter️

Ha! Yes, the old 9v battery trick

My above reply was more in the vane of we shouldn't be sticking our fingers in our tanks as a way to determine if there's electrical current flowing through it, which I believe is what @KrisReef was joking about .......

Gosh, I hope he was joking..... You never know with him sometimes

Shocking, rude, cruel, creepy, disgusting and generally disgusting things he says for effect. Gets people thinking and hopefully remembering when to stop and think if they might need to later.

Or just laugh a bit, after the warden flips the switch.
