and in the wrong circumstances very dangerous to my tank.
I have a really expensive surge protecter on my 75g (to prevent lightening strikes and other powersurges from back feeding into my tank equipment). my new halide lights keep causing it to trip 2 days out of 5 when they fire up. I thought it was the cats hitting the switch. but this morning it tripped 2x in a row while the lights were building up to fire, I was fortunatly sitting there waiting for my tank to light up to witness this. I unplugged some equipment and the lights managed to fire. I'm glad I was here to figure this out. now I need to circumvent the protecter to keep my tank from going powerless should this happen when I am not around.
