I bet that hurt Al. I for whatever reason can not seem to keep glass heaters without blowing them out. Titanium heaters work better for me...or at least longer lol

Not a great way to start the day! You reach your hand into your water storage barrel to test the temperature and ZAP!!!
I really hate that feeling. Sometimes its a little numbing this time it was a full blown numbing to the elbow followed by some very loud and inappropriate cursing!. Heater seal went and it filled with water...
The black junk is water...

Ouch !Ouch Ouch!
At least it kicked out sometime recently and not in the middle of the night as I at least had warm water. I am however glad I keep a few spare heaters!

Your discus are talking to you....are you listening
Crickey that was nasty! Glad you are ok, did the RCD trip? Be safe!
Ouch!!
Better it got you in the aging barrel rather thank in the tank with your fish! I'd take a shock for the sake of my fish any day

Pain is weakness leaving your body lol .. kidding aside glad
You are ok
Not my idea of a good buzz Al.
Good time to remind people not to work with both hands in the tank. A numb arm is a bit easier to manage than a numb heart.
Glad to hear you were (relatively) unharmed.
Wow! I bet that that woke you up. Glad that you are ok.

No bueno mate, glad you're ok. I got knocked out cold from a faulty heater incident when I was 13...the jolt threw me and I hit my head on the concrete floor in my fish room...ahhh, so that is whats wrong with me ;P
Luckily I never had this kind of incident my self.
I can only imagine that unpleasant pain youve felt there Al .
With the level of maintenance required by discus I guess that Pat suggestion about having a titanium heaters in our tanks is right on spot .
I've gotten a tickle a few times but nothing bad. My worst incident was when I heard a breaker trip hard. I walked down to the fish room and there was a fire! A faulty heater caused a fire in my water storage tank. It was ablaze! The first thing I thought is, " my water is on fire" then I saw that it was the plastic lid on the container. I took it off, tossed it out the door and put the fire out with water. It was very scary. If I hadn't been home, or had been outside and not heard the breaker my house would have burned to the ground.

One of my many mutts a few weeks ago suddenly decided to cick his leg up a row of sockets in their bedroom...now that must have been unpleasant!
I've heard tell of men peeing on an electric fence. I don't imagine they'll try that a second time.
