Eletrical current

[saturn13]

hey everone,

Just wondeing what electeical.current can do to corals? I dont know how long I could have had this issue but just went to pick up a fallen coral and I know that feeling right away. I think it was a heater that I've unplugged and assuming simply throw it away. But just wondering what some of the imapcts can be?

Thanks

Get yourself a multimeter and test the voltage while unplugging equipment one at a time. It's usually the heater like you said but you'll want to know for sure. I have also had Powerheads leak voltage

Pretty sure it was found out the old fashioned way, but I'll be testing for it as well and getting a grounding probe.
