bad electric shock!

p.pep85 · Sep 17, 2016

woke up this morning and one fish was missing and the rest looked like near death. tested the water everything was in line. did a water change and went to work just got home and the skimmer was over flowing all ready so i went to empty it and got the shock of a life time........ so is there anyway to find out what is leaking voltage in the tank with out just replacing everything. thanks

I'd start with your aquarium heater usually the first to go.

Dude, be careful....use the procedure in the video link below...
I'd unplug everything make sure you get 0 volts then plug each component hat is in contact with water one by one until you find the culprit(s)
As @ruha456 stated, heaters are the prime suspect....

Check out this video on how to measure stray voltage in your aquarium....
