Who could resist this face??
hahaha
I've been "zapped" a few times, but never was it tank related. I too touched a farm fence...suprised me.
How many times have you been electrocuted?

I've never been shocked, and certainly never by my tanks. All my equipment is plugged into power strips so I just flip the switch to turn everything off before I reach into the tank.
I've been shocked many times none aquarium related. I've had lightning hit 2 of my cars through the radiator shorting out the entire electrical system ; while I was driving them. I've had a tree get hit and fall on my car while I was in it, while working lightning caused a surge that came through the computer I was operating and knocked me across the room ( OSHA made me get checked out at the hospital for that one).
The most embarassing was backing intio an electric fence.
I've learned to stay indoors if there is even a hint of a t-storrm. lol

I know I'm bringing back a thread from a million years ago but oh well. I'm bored.
I've been electrocuted twice by bad wiring. I was at a friend's house and her dad had just finished a huge home gyn thing (they're filthy rich.) Anyway there was a bad wire under the door of the gym and when you walk over it you would possibly be electrocuted... and I was, twice

LOL, but I missed this earlier so thats fine.
Been shocked many a times (but luckily never electrocuted), and intentionaly with about half a million volts as a display with various tesla coils I have built like this:
I'm not really sitting there (double exposure) but you get the idea of its size. Many of my projects use very lethal transformers and capacitors, luckily I never have been shocked since working on HV (accidentaly anyways) since it only takes 1 time and your toast, litteraly. This will do the trick real fast:
When wired in reverse of a 220V plug this puts out 20kV and I have run it at nearly 20,000W for short bursts (dims all the lights in the house lol).

I once had a spill from my cannister to a power strip. Zap!
Working in a kitchen, you have all sorts of electrical gear, including electric steam tables. Once evening, it shorted out and threw a fireball at waist level right down the line, to bounce off a cooler. My sous chef and I decided the unit needed replacement, but getting it unplugged put a tingle down my arm.
When I was 14, I dared one of my brother's older friends to urinate on an electric fence, if that counts for anything. Fun trip to the hospital after that!

You have the coolest toys ever. Makes me wish I stayed with EE instead of switching to business school.
