Leakage of Electricity Around the Tank

hi bros and sis,

have u ppl ever come across any leakage of electricity around your fish tank ?? like using a test pen and place it at the rim of yr tank and the testpen will light up ?

recently, i had this experience ... well, actually i had a previous leakage experience where my PH wire has a slight opening, hence the leakage of electric. even the water oso have electric current ... obviously, the whole house got tripped ... and it's a major 1 cos even main switch outside my house oso tripped.

i'm still using those normal pump, lights etc with only 2 wire / plucks ... no earth wiring. tested the rim and there's still a slight of leakage but not to the extend of 'biting' feeling yet. is this the cause of it ? if so, how do i prevent from future trip ?

currently have 2 x 2 PH with 2800l/h(1 for OHF and 1 for skimmer), 1 PH with 800l/h (for flow), 1 x 2 2" PL lights (white and blue), 1 x T4 light (oso white and blue) 2 x 4" cooling fan.

thanks in advance.

u can always do the earth wiring urself.. i did that even to my FW tank...

Happened to me too...

It's my lighting...

how to do the earthing??

thanks!

You can try to ask around from the forum, There are Bro there who willing to DIY for you, just pay them the cost price of the Equipment + Kopi..

Check the ballast of your light... is it rusty?? I ad mine changed and everything is back to normal again..

u can try the mod barracuda ... he has did a very good one, not x too ..

Help!! My tank also has electric leakage. Wow! I put my hands in the tank and was shock man, the electric current looks so strong, my hands were numb. Hmm currently all my powerhead is using a two pin plug, and I put into the plug by a plastic (those plastic that helps to plug in two pin plug). Is it true that if I change the plastic to a 3 pin plug with earth and plug the two pin plug on top of the 3 pin, it will help? (The 3 pin plug can plug in both two pin round/flat type)
