I felt an unbearable tingling when I touch water with one hand and light fixture with the other. Is this normal? I measured my water at ~.7 volt. I'm not getting a reading when measuring my light fixture.
Thanks,

tank for sure and basement optional but would not hurt. On each of my tanks, I have a probe in the tank and in the sumpWith the grounding probe, should I have one in the tank and one in the basement sump?
Yes. My guess is the housing of your T5 fixture is grounded. So the water has a voltage potential that is causing current to flow through your body to the grounded fixture. Take your multimeter and place positive(red) in the water and negative(black) on the fixture. My guess is you are somewhere above 10V. You can check it the AC and DC setting.I have one hand in the water (I don't feel anything). When I touch my t5 fixture with the other hand (one hand still in the water) I feel a tingle. Is the stray voltage traveling from the water to the light fixture through my body?
