Always unplug ballast before removing lights
Today I had to remove the canopy of the large tank and for the first
time, I had to unplug the quick-snap connectors of the lights beforehad. I reached under the stand and started disconnecting each of the 4 cables. Suddenly, I felt a sharp pain and I realized I had shocked myself with the little prongs of the connectors. It was small, and fast, but the smell of burned skin is still lingering....  Note to self, *always* unplug the ballasts before disconnecting the lights. -- Victor Martinez Send your spam he Email me he
