You may have a faulty power strip if you're using one or a bad outlet. There was a previous post about issues that led to a bad outlet. Also, just don't turn off but remove what you can to ensure there isn't a loop in the circuit.

Did you remove everything out of the tank one by one? or just turn it off?

Ok you gotta at least become familiar with the basics of electricity. So when we say ground and ground probe it literally means a conductive material that can transfer the current towards the ground. You yourself can serve as ground when you touch the tank barefoot. The titanium probe is a little titanium rod with a cable that connects to a ground on an electrical socket. That's the thick third piece found on most high voltage plugs. Anyway ... if you already unplugged everything and still feel the stray voltage. You need to neutralize the charge. So put a piece of metal that can touch both the floor and tank water (a cable or wire hanger) to do so. Then plug in things one by one and check for voltage. Pm me for my number if you really need the help.
