Hey all,

Let me start with some background. I recently moved into my apartment. They are very old apartment, I belive that they were built in the 1950's or 1960's. I think that the electrical is heavily screwed up! First of all all of the outlet have just two prongs (no third prong). Whenever I flip a switch in the apartment the TV shows static for a second. Actually, as long as I am turning something on in the apartment this happens. So...

Why is this happening? (static)

Is this something I should be worried about?

What effects does/will this have on my fish tank?

Please help! Keep in mind I know nothing about electricity.
