Thoughts on grounding probe.

So over the years I’ve always had one just in case. The fear of hlld on my tangs….what are your thoughts? I keep hearing mixed reviews on fb with people saying yes and others saying it’s all gimmick snail oil.

I kinda feel like it doesn’t do anything either

Yea I have it on all my tanks but 🤷‍♂️ Does it actually work? Eh 60 bucks going to this industry is chump change hahahah compared to cost of equipment and maintenance fees I guess

Well, I thought the same but now I know it works for sure. About a month ago when I dip my finger I could feel a strong current on a cut I had on my finger. It felt like lemon juice on an open cut. Definitely painful. I unplugged different equipment and at first the charge seemed to dissipate, but it would come back a few hours later. Long story short I plugged the grounding probe into a power strip but the voyage was still there. A friend of mine suggested that I plug into the wall socket and that worked. No more voltage ever since.
