Ground Probe
Just curious as to how many people have installed a ground probe for electrical fault protection, and how many use GFI protection for their tank equipment.

Have one, stopped using it because that was the general consensus - turns harmless voltage into dangerous current.
I do however have all my electrical on GFCIs.

I use a GFCI, but every now and then I feel a littl shock on a scrape on my hand.

From my experience, Ground probes work, as to GFCI... But if you use a grounding probe, they work best NOT ran through a GFCI, rather directly to the wall.
