Here's a little extra:

Any of the big mail order places carry them now. I don't know if Ty does
mail order... Jonah? You sell 'em? Support your "local" stores if you can,
but if not... Go mail order.

I don't set up an aquarium that has electricity in it without. I've seen
too many devices go to the "dark side" of leaking voltage. :)

Where would they sell it at? I just called Ken's Aquarium and they don't
have anything like it and I'm scared to go into Pet Care...last time I got
myself into a bitching contest with the manager about how they take care of
their fish =P

aquarium (and who isn't?) there is a device you should really look into
adding. It's called a Grounding Probe. The brand I offer, in my shop, is
called Rid-Volt. It's around $15. It's simply a probe you place in the tank
and plug the other end into an available outlet. It will safely ground your
aquarium and remove any stray voltage that may be leaking into the tank. I
recommend them especially to people that have a tank that always has
problems, no matter what they

meter to check for stray voltage in your tank. You should be able to find
them at your local fish shop. For the price it's cheap insurance.
