Hello,
I apologize ahead of time for the long spiel.
Ive been dealing with the slight tingling feeling at the ends of the fingers, especially ones with cuts or abrasions when working in my aquarium (60 gallon long)
Ive gone down the rabbit hole and this and need some opinions on if my actions are enough.
I measured the stray voltage with my multi. It was measuring between 30 and 50v. Because my equipment was old i decided it was a good time to replace it all. The only thing i kept were the led lights.
After changing all the equipment raising the lights off the aquarium i still measured the same stray voltage.
I checked the led light cases to ground and saw about 25v on each of them so i grounded them.
When i checked the aquarium to ground again it was around 5 to 10v.
I decided to put in a grounding probe because ive seen some people who advise them. I was seriously worried about grounding the tank so i measured the current while i put the grounding probe in. The reading was 0.2mA.
I took out the ground because im paranoid if something does break at some point itll fry my tank.
My equipment is plugged into a power strip which is plugged into a gfi outlet.
Ive been looking to see what peoples stray voltage and amperage (if grounded) is but havent read anything that convinces me my tank is okay.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
