Come to think of it, I've been getting shocked a lot lately...my dog, computer, furniture, etc. Maybe it really was just some spurious static? I've been dipping my finger in the tank periodically...

I have a K1 in my BioCube 14 (which is really a 10-gallon tank) and I don't think it's too much flow. It just depends on where it's pointed. Try aiming it at the glass and let the flow billow out...

If something had been leaking current into the water, shouldn't I feel a continuous shock whenever I touch the water? BTW, humidity is 25% here today, so quite ripe for static buildup.

Would the stray voltage have to be coming from something immersed in the water, or could it be from lights, fans, etc.?

Exclamation Static Shock?!?

Once in a while, I get what feels like a static shock when I first touch the water. It's not continuous, and it's apparently not enough of a shock to trip the GFCI (I've tested it to be sure it's...

You seem to have a big CUC. You might need to feed them some algae once they do their initial clean-up so they don't starve. Or else give some of the critters away to someone who'll need them. You...
