Every one has a electrical potential, some of us greater than others. Everyone also has a different resistivity in there body. These 2 factors alone could attribute to why you are suseptable to the shock and others are not.
How extreme is the shock? Is it like static shock where you get a sudden snap then nothing, or is it like a prolonged zap. If you have ever shocked yourself with 120V you will know the difference. 
I would say increasing grounds would be of no help becasue if you are using 3 prong plugs for your equipment then you are grounded enough. If it is a ground problem it would be a bad or noisey ground in your house wireing.
Also switching between salt and fresh water will make no difference becasue the shock is being caused by an external source, so you would not be fixing the problem; just making the effects slightly less.
And remeber that every single moving part in your setup will casue static, and if you are not grounded you eventually will get a shock once the potential is greater than your bodys natural potential.
Oh a btw, you are never supposed to put your hand in your tank when your system is electrified, well at least thats what the manuals say. I take it that you probably have a sump tank right? just plug your inflow to the tank(via a check valve etc), switch off the power, then clean your tank.
Kinda off topic
I have a 165 gallon fresh water with a 33 gallon sump.
3 silver arowanas, 4 clown loaches,and a huge common pleco. Post picks of your tank, and ill put up some of mine.
Cheers
edit: Just thought of this. To try and find the device thats casuing the shock; just plug in one device at a time then take the plunge. No zap, move to the next device. I have bought new pumps that have been faulty/leaky out of the box.
Oh and Syco. Your a cheese ball. |
In my case
how extreme is it , well i can turn a light bulb for 5 sec when i hold it in my hand and THATS spooky  |

I dunno Hfric...I'd have to see that man. Im not an electrical engineer or anything but i dont think the body can produce enough electricity/electrical current to light a light bulb.
I assume those levels of electricity would fry your heart as they pass over it.
This is a perfect thread for Animal...

I swear everything is grounded. Maybe I should get an Ome meter or something like that. The shock is pretty bad. Enough that these candy assed guys made a funny screaming sound when I touched them.
@bigperm
Ok I will post some pictures of both my tanks, fresh and salt water. The salt water is the coolest. I don’t think I have a sump tank, not sure what that is. It has a protein skimmer, heater, filter, 2 light system.
Salt water I have some zoo’s, anomalies, clown fish, my pistol shrimp, cleaner shrimp, banded shrimp, gobys, and those damn damsels.
Freshwater is sharks ( had 2 huge parrot ciclides but lost them) Pleacos, There is a goldfish that was bought for food that didn’t get eaten and he is still swimming around. I have other stuff in there I can’t remember the name.
Fresh water is 60 gallons, salt is 30.
I like your idea of trying everything one at a time. I might do that tomorrow if I have time.
Ohhh and don’t you be calling my syco a cheese ball, or else I will find you and kick your ass.
@Hfric
I think that light bulb lighting thing is normal. I can light up a whole fourencen tube if I hold it around any power lines. You link is cool, I might post something from it later if I don’t go to bed.

they dont really scream, its just the steam escaping the shell of the lobster. there are a few tricks if you feel uncomfortable with cooking a live lobster. start cooking it at cold water rather than throwing it into boiling water, this will put the lobster to sleep, so will putting the lobster on his back for a few minutes on the kitchen counter 
gotta love being married to someone whose dad has lots of friends in the fishing industry  he gets all sorts of seafood for free all the time, especially Sockeye Salmon. every time we go up to campbell river for a visit his freezer is stacked with seafood and we go home with two filled bags

@werdercanuck
Good to know your advice but I still wont be cooking anything live.
I am totally jealous over the sea food. Ohhh love it. Salmon, To be honest I usually go for the farmed Atlantic or pink. Sockeye is a bit dry, you gotta be careful with the cooking. Pink is cheap but still is good BBQ. I do mine in Cilantro, sun dried tomatoes, and garlic (with other stuff) that everybody talks about for days. The only thing is I can’t eat it frozen, it has to be fresh. More like, I am not comfortable serving frozen. There are some prawns that I will buy frozen but only a certain brands. I am really fussy. Even frozen in milk I don’t enjoy frozen fish. Lots of people freeze in milk to kill the fishy taste but I don’t. I would rather spend the extra money and do something right. If it is frozen for maybe 3 or 4 days that might be ok, but you really have to watch it.

The meat in farmed is totally differnt from wild. Farmed is not firm, but I find the taste ok. I catch salmon in those areas where they have the fish farms and it is coved in sea lice. You paddle in and the water changes colors. I don't believe those areas would have sea lice problems if it wasn't from the fish farms. And there is that stinky smell.
Smoked salmon is the best. I love smoked salmon. Esp locks.

the only fish i buy in stores (because i get almost anything else for free ) is those rolled up herrings, rollmops. i could eat those every day. those are pretty popular where im originally from just like herring salad etc.

Those roll mops are pretty good, I like the rawer type of food. Gotta buy the roll mops. I don't like the fish skin tho, I give it to the dog. Holy crap dog farts.

haha I saw picture inside your house. Nice shiny floors!
Your tank is so clean looking, no black hair algea, no colored water from wood.
You tank looks good but it needs some plants. I think plants make that black hair aglea in a fresh water tank but still it looks better. A wood log with plants tied to it looks good too. The plants spread like crazy after they get going.
Arrownanas are really cool, and expensive. Some of them are microchipped just to prove they are breed in captivity.
