Speaking of voltage, my newly installed ATI T5's are shocking me when my arms are in the tank. If I make contact with the fixture (which easily happens) and my arm is in the tank, I get a nice shock - otherwise everything is fine. Appears I have stray voltage or a bad ground. I know electricity follows the path of least resistance, but a ground should protect this right?
Sounds like you are grounding yourself on the fixture itself and it isnt what is giving you the shock but rather the outlet from the electricity your getting. When you are touching it your just grounding yourself. You can test this theory by sticking your arm in the tank and touching a piece of metal. Or if you wanna get high tech you can use a volt meter and see if it registers anything. i have had this be the case before and am hoping that your new ATI isnt causing this.
