what did you guys did or buy for your tank today

They all plugged in to the same power strip? If so I would switch that and see if it fixes it. Seems odd that all of them would leak at the same time. Check your lights too.

Not doubting you, but how would the lights leak voltage into a tank?
 
If they sit on top of your tank they can. Water level in the tank high enough and metal light fixture low enough. The cord was dipping into the very top of the tank water. Took me the better part of an hour one day to realize what was leaking electricity into my tank. I tested everything and of course left the lights on so that I could see in the tank as I was working in it. I didn't figure it out until I went to move the fixture back a bit with wet hands and zapped myself.

If they are suspended above the tank or set up higher I dont see how they can. The only reason I suggested it is if the op is still getting the shock no matter what is plugged in I would say its either the power strip, which I am not sure how it wuld transfer electricity up insulated cords, or the lights that he may not have thought to turn off while he was checking all of the other equipment.

Makes sense. I have a leak somewhere also and after unplugging everything I Still can't find it. I get a small zap in my cut just like the op.
 
I tore apart the 240 to move it from against the wall under the stairs to room divider.
Everything is in holding tanks, putting it back together today.

New stand and sump

That's sweet, got any pics of the day?
View attachment 282529 only this so far, theyre colonial feather dusters. came home today with four different kinds of zoas, an urchin, some snails, and yet another hitchiker fish. a sand skipper. There are some stunning acros growing there, so tempting. ..but illegal to collect. booooooo!
 
Got texted pix of my tanks. We are on vacation.
Need a fish fix, so driving 30 miles to the nearest 'not so' LFS. :)

Trying to figure out which of my devices is leaking voltage into my tank, when i stick my finger in that has a cut on it i get a really big shock every time. Turns out all my heaters, skimmer pump, return pump, and carbon pump are all leaking

Man it always something
 
Well I wonder whats next, I have a 55gl with 4 fish,2 clowns, royal gramma,6 line wrasse, what fish should I get next or should I wait..the tank been up a running for about 5weeks, diatoms bown algae started forming, I know im getting more clean up crew this week, more crabs, and snails......anyway the fish Im need for future is Reef safe fish, because its going to be a reef tank in the future .
 
For the first time in about 3 weeks I bought *nothing* for the tank today. Tomorrow will be a booster pump for the RO. Did finish up the stand and test my reactors though. Also tweaked the light fixture a bit.
