Any bro feel Mild electric feel of your shrimp tank?

[SIOWARO]

Hi bro, like to ask, do you have this electric feel when you put your hand in your shrimp tank?
Mine do feel abit on that,not to the extend of electric shock feel, feel it when I just begin to touch the water, once my whole hand sock in the water, feel fine. currently equipment that have water contact is my chiller, my ehiem 2213 canister and the dolphin hang on filter.
Will this electric curren causes shrimp death?

Bro, alternatively, you can put a wire connect to a lead and tied to the 3 pin plug and putting the lead (weight) into the tank. In this way, this can also prevent your shrimps from electrocuted.

Bro Gan77, so you mean that the lead will be some sort of earthing material for the electricity? Quite curious cause i have not come across this before, please share =D

The shrimps should not be electrocuted as they are not grounded to anything and there's no potential difference?

I read somewhere (but cannot find the link now) that most of the electrical current tend to travel at the surface of the aquarium, which is perhaps why the TS got shock when he first sticks his hand in?
