Is all the sparky gear running your tank GFCI protected? If so great, if not, a grounding probe on it's own is not a good solution. I don't have a grounding probe myself, but darn tootin' anything with a wire going into or near my tank is GFCI protected.

Best I did with lighting is light my canopy on fire.

It's just electricity! I probably get shocked 9 out of every 10 times I play with it. Changed all the outlets in the house, got zapped twice and blew the side of my cutters. Got zapped by 220 in a commercial water heater, that one stung!!

I get zapped once a month doing something dumb lol

I guess you're right. It's probably fairly common yet we never hear about people dying from accidental electrocutions. Just the odd house fire. You're probably more likely to die from your house fire.
