Default Shocked by my fish tank!

So i was reaching into my tank and I got a shock. I searched all the electrical devices and figured out that it was my pump for my TLF reactor. Is there a common thing that can be fixed to stop this? Or does anyone have a replacement?

Is any of your fish still alive? I think if human feels shocked, the leaking voltage may be already quite high.
