penguin PH, shocked me!!!

so last night i had this penguin PH layin around so i hooked it up to my wavemaker and put it in my tank, ran it for proly good 6 hours, then befor i was going to bed i reached in my tank to fix a lil deflecter that fell, my hand was in the water and my forearm touched my lighthood, bzzzzzzzzzzzzz ouch, holy crap i just got shocked. unpplugged the ph and no shock so it had to be the new PPH.

have not noticed any damage to the tank other equipment or inhabitants. was a very small shock, def did not go to bed after that jump start of adrenaline.lol


housing was not cracked only thing i can think of is it was not supposed to be on a wave maker.

 

lesson learned... electricity does flow around the surface of your tube bulbs.

 

good tip

 

im terrified on getting electricuted every time i stick my hand in the tank....this is what i think ah

 

happened to me in my 350 picasso trigger fish tank... ouch!
