It was the on/off switch causing the shock. I think the switch was touching the glass, but I didn't think glass was conductive...? I don't really know. All I know is that if the light is plugged in when I stick my hand in the water I will get zapped. Unplug light, and no shock. I usually leave it plugged in though because it really ain't that bad, and the plug in is hard to reach on that tank.
