Hello, I'm new to this forum and am hoping for some input. I hadn't cleaned my tank for quite a while and dug into it today. I kept noticing that
anywhere on my hand where there is a scrape or hangnail or whatever, I felt a "shock." I have had this before and figured it was just ammonia in the
water due to not cleaning it for a while. However, I became aware that while I was dumping fresh water in the tank from a bucket, if my thumb touched that
water, I felt the same sensation. I took the bucket away and stuck the same thumb in it and nothing happened, then when I started dumping in again, it
happened again. So..... I feel that something must be traveling up the stream of fresh water, from the aquarium water and causing the stinging sensation.
Anybody else experience this and what is it??

Hi,
Have had the same thing and put it down to to much salt in the tanks & I must have had a cut or something on my hand. Had to change my sump pump & the problem stopped, now thinking it was an electrical issue. |

G'day Susie, I'd say there is electricity leaking into the water from either your heater or from an internal power filter if you have one. Check the
heater see if there is condensation on the inside & if so get a new one
