Don, this is serious stuff. The tingle tells you to LOOK AT ME NOW!
Glad you are OK.
Start unplugging to find the culprit. I’d start with your heaters. They are always on the top of my list. Find it and get it out!
Here’s my suggestion…..never……never…..just trust the controls on a heater to heat your tank. Did I say never enough?
You need to use a controller with your heater to make sure that when it malfunctions….and it will……it doesn’t cook your tank.
I’ve cooked one tank, and that’s what...
Phil, I’m at a loss for this one as well. And the 15 and 17 year old knew that 12 year old girl as well. I just don’t understand kids today. I’m at a loss. I sympathize with the little girl’s family as well as the family of the two kids who killed this poor little girl. What a pity...
If your willing and able to QT your sps, I’d first dip them (10 – 15 minutes) in Bayer Advance Complete Insect Killer…..8 mls per liter of tank water. And I’d do that every week for at least three weeks. This stuff doesn’t kill eggs, so that’s why you have to do it over a three week period...
YOU are not OK, but your tank is. When YOU stick your hand into that "electrified" tank, you now become the ground, and the current flows......through you.
Controversial…..Here’s my two cents…..and I’ve felt the tingle.
You have volts and you have current. The presence of voltage without current is like a bird sitting on a wire…..loads of voltage, but nowhere to go. This is like your tank with a voltage leak….without a ground.
Current is...
They look like the "Chinese" LED's folks talk about. My only concern would be if they had aluminum cooling plates inside. If not, I'd be a bit leery. Take a look at Apollo LED's.....assembled here in the USA...with cooling aluminum....assembled right here in PA.....with knockout PAR.
Now I understand. Are the barbs installed with teflon tape or pipe dope? That could be leaking. Are you using two clamps per barb? Leaks could be coming from there. Just guessing not seeing the setup.
