Well, I had a funny feeling that I had some voltage in my tank, so I went out and bought a volt meter and checked the voltage in my tank. And sure enough there is 25volts of AC power in my tank. I am running 7 powerheads and 2 pumps. No heaters. All of my equipment is brand new. I checked each and every piece of equipment in the tank seperatley and found out that each piece of equipment is putting between 1 1/2 to 2 volts of power in my tank. And its not just a couple power heads or 1 pump, it is every powerhead and each of the 2 pumps that is putting voltage in my tank. So 2volts per item times 9 items = 18volts. (I am getting 25v some how). I did all my testing without a powerstrip so I know it isnt the power strip. And I also tested the grounds on my outles, and they arent producing any votage either. I tried all the testing on a couple of different outlets with the same results. My cleaning crew keeps dying, so i Kinda hope it is because of yhis voltage so when I figure it out they will hopefully be able to live. I am lost and am desperate for help, I have no other ideas on how this voltage is getting in there. And also, I just hooked everything up to a gfci outlet and that still didnt fix the problem
