I was arm deep in my tank messing around and then all of a sudden my arm felt all weird. I took it out thinking I had a cut, but all of a sudden my fingers were tingling in the tank...

So I turned everything off, and the tingling stopped.
One by one I turned on my Apex outlets. When I got to my Korelia in the sump, it didn't start at all.

I've turned everything else ON now and its no longer doing it. Since the pump doesn't seem to be doing anything, could the motor have freezed and its releasing current into the tank?

Also, I have a GFCI and Surge Protector...should it have tripped it? Concerned my GFCI isn't functioning! (PS: Couldn't find my multimeter anywhere :( )
 
I doubt a siezed powerhead would trip a gfci needs a dead short or a surge
 

IF YOU HAD TO TAKE A REEFING EXAM, WOULD YOU PASS?
