I was just running some Stray Voltage tests on one of my tanks. I set my multi-meter to 200 ACV

Here were the readings as I turned everything back on.

All power off - 6.0
Pumps - 9.0
Skimmer - 12
Tunze - 20
Heaters - 24

With everything on it was running about 24-26 is this normal? Or do I have an issue here. I read a bunch of forums and people were talking about normal voltage in a tank im just confused guys.
 
Thanks for the invite!

That looks pretty normal.
Any electrical device running in or adjacent to your tank will induce a voltage in it. That is about what my tank runs if I remove my ground probe.
