grounding probes

[Dinky]

I just read an article written by a person who stated that grounding probes
can make matters worse, in fact giving current a POLR and killing fish in
the event of a device failure. I'm sure it's been discussed before, but I'd
like the opinions of a few of the old-timers in here as to how they feel
about these devices. Also, I'd like to ask about thier use in fw tanks.
