For the last few day's I've been getting shocked from my tank's system. Just touch the water and :zap:!! I've been here before, this aint the first time. So now I'm thinking :grumble: Damnit I know what I have to do here. Here goes the fun. So I started the process of unpluging things one at a time and then touching the water :zap:. Yea this sucks. So after 3 day's and a few dozen time's the volts have now cause certain parts of my body to shrink and shrivle when I walk into the fish room. Man was it is :frustrat: !! Now I look like this :zombie: and I don't know how much more I can take. My left forearm look's like popeye's!! I tried to get my 6 year old son to touch the water, but he just kept laughing at me, saying do it again Dad!! Never thought it was all that funny myself, glad I could entertain him.:grumble: At least I have a loving wife.....She said, good you deserve it, after all the floods you've have I hope it take's you a week to find what it is.
So as strong as it was, I was looking at something pulling a lot of current. Until I grabbed the cord to a Maxi-jet Mod :zap::shocking::zombie: !!! I came alive, I felt it in the back of my brain, as I heard my son laugh uncontrolably trying to say do it again Daddy! I've been hit by 220 that didn't hurt this bad. I had to shut the panel box down that runs this system to unplug the Maxi-jet. The cord that come's on it ( which is underwater in the tank) had worn a bare spot in it. This one was only maybe a month old, pretty new to do that.
So to those of you using Maxi-jet's if you ever suddently get a buzz. Don't call me. I will not touch your water. But try starting with these power heads. This is the second one that's done this to me. The first one was a pump about 6 years old, but this time the pump was really new. That grounding rod is starting to sound like a good investment.
