Metering for stary voltage

[BlazinNano]

Can you use a multimeter to test for stray voltage in your water? If so do you just stick both tips of the leads in the water or are you going to want to ground one lead and stick the other in the tank?

Just put both ends in :)
Easy as that!

When I used a voltmeter on my tank I was told to ground the lead to the ground in the electrical socket

ground one end them place the other in the water. I use the light as my ground source. I don't just throw the other lead in the water, just the tip. then wipe it off good (don't want to corrode the leads on my fluke)
