stray voltage? Do you have a grounding probe?

I am not sure what you are saying. IF you take one probe of a volt meter and put it into the water, and another probe and place it on a ground, what does the meter read?

IF the Koralias are putting 25-30 volts, or really anything more than a volt or so into the water, then you likely have a problem. If it is just a volt or so when measured in the water > ground...this is normal.
