Stream putting electric charge into my tank.

A power strip should make no difference, but do make sure the cord isn't contacting a salty light fixture or conducting in electricity from another source, also use a volt meter and not your fingers to test for voltage. Also thoroughly check that no cuts are present on the cord.
OK, it sounds as if you have some stray voltage from one of two sources your lighting or you have what is called a hot/ground reversal on that outlet or a similar short within the power strip. You can check your outlets with a $5 outlet tester from HD or Lowes. As for the lighting, if you tell me what kind of lights you use I could be more help. Basically, something in your tank is leaking current and because the pump is grounded it is carrying the current away and completing the circuit.
BTW- I am very sorry for the Troll post comment earlier. I read in the past thread you had contacted Champion and the first thing I did was check all of our batch info and product numbers and call the delaers to see who had what. This was a "shocking" post as I have never seen a Tunze pump shock anyone even in pretty bad shape, they have several safety systems to cut themselves off if they are flawed or tampered with.
