Stray Voltage Help

[piranhaman00]

Hello,

I just put my hand in my tank and felt hints of electricity, I tested multiple times and I’m certain it was electricity and not saltwater sting. I plugged my grounding probe into different outlet and same thing, tested gfci and all good, when everything came back on it wasn’t happening anymore.
Checked stray voltage, and got 0.6V and setting shown with black on ground and red in water.

What gives? Is my gfci and grounding probe faulty? That can’t be, was I tripping? I really don’t think so, I tested all my fingers and could feel it.
Any ideas?

Not enough amperage to trip a GFCI

Review all the items in your tank that use electricity.

Each device has the electric contact hermetically sealed in glass (usually green). This glass over time develops MICRO CRACKS letting just enough moisture thru the crack to cause stray voltage throut the tank....but not enough to cook the unit nor trip the GFCI

Start by unplugging everything involving electric. Then plug in each device independently and checking with your fingertips each plug in. When you plug in the device with micro cracks, you'll feel it.

You'll discover which device needs replaced.

My bet its either a heater or powerhead.

No heaters.

but if I feel the electricity shouldn’t that be enough to trip gfci? Or is that only to do with amps?
