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
 (j/k)

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.

just so you all know-- none of you have had the pleasure of electrocuting yourselves.... you have been electrically "shocked" -- not electrocuted
 electrocution means to die from electric shock! haha i learned this when i shocked myself on my light fixture too!!! damn cat jumped on the tank and pushed the whole hood/fixture into the tank-- i ran in and grabbed it-- and felt a sickening tightening and buzzing feeling in my muscles-- *shudder* -- people PLEASE be careful with this hobby-- its like...a darwin award in itself with the levels of voltages some of us run on our tanks!! jm2c

Be carefull yes, but install the right equipment to save your life too. Installing a grounding probe doesnt take long, neither does swapping out your recepticals for GFIs.

Yup I've done that too. Forgot to put the o-ring back in a Magnum filter that the water comes out of at an alarming rate. Salt water, electricity and bare feet combined can make you levitate and scream like a little girl.
