Electrocuted!

This morning I went to give out some frags and I could have swore I felt a tingling sensation in the water. I wrote it off as having some cuts on my fingers and the saltwater was irritating them.

Just now I put my hand back into the tank and there is definitely...electricity??... in the tank. I feel like i'm getting shocked, but only when I put my bare foot on the cement floor.

Is this stray current or stray voltage? What's the difference? Sorry in advanced, I have never understood electricity very well. The offending piece of equipment was a koralia 1200. I have removed it. Is it time to throw away this piece of equipment?

Toss it, I had a cheap wave maker that did the same thing before.
 
Thanks guys, yes I do have a multimeter. I'll have a look at the system tomorrow.

I threw away the koralia.
