Getting shocked

[knobhill]

Is there a way to check if the equipment is grounded?

Do you have a ground for your system?

Yes

That is scary. Check to see of there is moisture inside of the heater.

I have 2 800 watt titanium heaters

I'm glad you and your fish were not harmed. Perhaps a few pictures of your 600 will help everyone recover quickly

I put gfci outlets on all my tanks a year or so ago. Saved my bacon when we had that earthquake a while back. Hopefully replacing that power strip will resolve the issue.
