I've poisoned myself from fragging, but never had the pleasure of electrocution
 Glad you're okay

Grounding probe time maybe? And GFI outlets?
It took me electrocuting myself a couple times to get this equipment too.

I've dropped a 2x65w PC fixture right into the tank. And.. yup, went and grabbed it out. Was pretty painful.. my fingers/hands were like superglued to the fixture once I touched it. It sucked! Lesson learned definately. Don't use fixtures like that

I remember that, pretty funny in a scarey way. I too have shocked myself with the balast from my 250 watt MH. Ouch! my arm hurt for a day or two.
