The single most important safety device for any aquarium. A universal titanium grounding probe protects you, your family, and your livestock from dangerous stray voltage and electrical shock. By creating a safe path-to-ground, this probe removes "stray volts" from your water, reducing livestock stress and preventing disaster. Connecting the Grounding Probe to the dedicated port on the ReefControl Power will safely neutralize stray voltages from pumps, heaters, and other electrical components that are particularly noticeable in reef aquariums due to the conductivity of seawater. They are mainly harmless induced voltages; however, they could also be from faulty equipment that may need replacing. The weighted Probe ensures that the corrosion-resistant titanium tip will remain underwater. Every modern aquarium is filled with electrical equipment—pumps, heaters, lights, and skimmers. Over time, any of these devices can develop a small crack or a faulty seal, allowing a small amount of electricity to "leak" into your aquarium water. This "stray voltage" is invisible, but it can be a source of constant stress for your fish and corals, potentially leading to issues like Head and Lateral Line Erosion (HLLE). More importantly, this stray voltage poses a serious risk of electrical shock to you. A titanium grounding probe is the essential solution. It is a non-intrusive, non-electrical device that simply provides a direct, safe path for any stray voltage to travel from your water to a grounded wall outlet. This instantly neutralizes the electrical charge in the water, making the environment safe for your livestock and safe for you to put your hands in. Features: Essential Safety Device: Protects the hobbyist from dangerous electrical shock. Reduces Livestock Stress: Removes low-level stray voltage, which is a known stressor for fish and corals. Completely Reef-Safe: Made with a 100% pure, non-corrosive titanium top. It will never rust, degrade, or leach anything into your water. Easy Installation: Simply place the titanium probe end into your sump or display tank.
