Not sure if I'm misunderstanding the question, but grounding probes are not meant to protect from shock. That's the job of the GFCI. Ground probes are meant to bleed off any stray voltage (like millivolts) that might be coming into the tank from faulty powerheads, heaters, etc. This is stuff that you won't be able to feel, but may cause your fish health problems.

Yeah Kurt your right.. and that's what i meant. Protecting against stray voltage in the tank. I have a GFCI outlet to protect against surges.
