I have been shocked on two seperate ocasions and both where from induced voltage from the lights. Once when the floor in front of the tank was damp because I had just wiped up some spilt water and once while I was cleaning up spilt water and didn't even have my hand in the tank. The water on the ground and the induced voltage somehow made a circuit out of me and a metal filing cabinet. If you have ballast driven lights then induced voltage is something to consider.

I've been shocked a few times. Happened to me when I first started the hobby, I didn't know any better and I bought few equipment items from a lfs. He brings his stuff over from Asia and I just compared prices to others lfs and obviously went for the cheaper stuff. Soon enough I learned that in this hobby you REALLY get what you pay for and every single item broke down within a couple months. Almost every time I'd put my hand in the tank I'd get a little shock and couldn't figure out why. Talked to another lfs about this and they instantly knew where I bought my equipment. I replaced everything and haven't had any issues since.
