has anyone ever tested their tanks for electricity??? i did and my fresh water read 0.04 volts and my reef tank 0.05 and the control was fresh water in a bucket and it read 0.03 wierd. if anyone else has done this let me know what your readings were.
 
I've had readings all the way up to 50 ac in mine....

Came to the conclusion that somethings are best left alone.
 
Was this voltage or conductivity? It makes sense for conductivity to be higher in the tanks where there is more dissolved matter.
 
+ in water. - on ground in outlet.

From my understanding this 50V was POTENTIAL?

The whole concept gave me a headache. Hence the reason some things are best left alone....LOL

However a ground probe DID eliminate the # on my DMM. But after reading some more decided against leaving it in the tank.
