OK, keep in mind your talking to an electrical moron. I know how to turn on a light switch and flip a breaker if it trips. Thats about it.
I have a Digital Multimeter that looks pretty much like this http://www.doctronics.co.uk/meter.htm#digital. (first major picture about 1/3 of the way down the page)
You may be wondering why I even have it given my opening statement but it was given to me.
How do I set it to see if I have any voltage leaking into my tank from pumps or anything else? I've got two cords red and black, which of the three holes do I put them in? What do I turn the dial to?
Any help would be much appreciated.

you need to put the black lead in the com hole and the red one in the middle hole. turn your dial the V ~ and 200.put one lead into the water( just the metal part of the lead and the other to the ground, tile , floor. no wood or carpet.nothing should register. unless you have a true rms meter. anything less than a couple of volts you should be ok. if not you have leaklage.now that being said, if you suspect leakage be careful with water and electricity as you know they don`t mix.be careful.
