I was making 25 gallons of salt water and needed to heat it to 78, so I dropped in a spare Red Sea 150W Heater. This was in a Rubber Maid 32 gallon trash can.
I put my finger in to check the temperature after a couple of hours and my finger hurt. Then I realized I was getting shocked. Not a big shock, but enough to replace the outlet in the garage with a CFGI outlet and maybe start using a grounding probe in my salt making container.
Anyway, my main question. I plan to put a grounding probe in the sump and the DT. Will it work to put the grounding probe in the external weir? The water drops about 2 inches so there is a little water fall, but I assume electrons have no problem travelling through the moving water. The tank is 48x24x24 and the weir is 48x4x8 (Coast-to-Coast overflow). I am trying to avoid the unsightly wire in the DT.
