stray voltage
« on: April 11, 2009, 10:38:49 AM »
im currently writting a piece on stray voltage in the aquarium, it needs to be perfect and totally accurate, im taking photos of me using testers etc and want it to be something we can all use in the future, as of now ive seen lots of total crap throughout the web about this and how to test and info about GFCI etc, well id like to get it right.

you can all help, if you have ever had problems with stray voltage then let me know how you sorted it out, i wont use your views as solutions, its probably more likely a not how to do it  ;D either way id like some opinions on what you did or how you sorted it out, this piece could take a while before i pm russ and scottv with my first draft, i think this is an area that is totally untested and all hearsay, i dont want my name associated with guesses, so any help will be appreciated, thank you MRK :).

thanks for the offer, im a electrician and have been in the trade for nearly 30 years as a boy and an engineer and also own a electrical contracting business, im writting this article because of all the bull i see daily, anything you can do to help me will be appreciated, its about time this particular subject had a proper write up and not just reef forum gossip and hearsay, i respect all reefers but think most just live on the hype and not facts, i would love some feed back if you or anyone here has any, thanks buddy :)
