Very Puzzling Thing Came Up - Any Ideas?: Stray Voltage

[Rostato]

Would anyone be willing to test the voltage in their tank for me if they have a multimeter? Curious what everyone is sitting at. I just put the red lead into my sump and the black on my ground and read the AC Voltage. I unplugged the heaters and dropped to 2.1 volts which was about 5 volts from the heaters. I have 2 300W Cobalt Neo-therms and would prefer not to replace them if unnecessary because they're not that cheap.

I can test mine. Neotherms are out of stock everywhere anyway. I’d suggest a Ranco controller and finnex titanium rods

Awesome thanks I appreciate it. I noticed that too, is it because of COVID?

Not sure

I’m getting zero volts in both my tanks with heaters on

I just took a spin of the roulette last night and ordered a 1200W ceramic heater from a no name brand... . will let you know how that goes,..if I survive.
