Aquatinics Constellation
I finally got my new lighting. had the unit for awhile but waiting on the bulbs. Didn't get the bulbs I ordered so I'll never order for the site I got them from again. Anyway here is my question. I have the 7 bulb one that has three cords. This is what happen. When two of the cords were plugged in, the third one that wasn't had electric current going through it. The only reason I know this is because my daughter got a small buzz. Is this right or do I need to contact the company? Also the three cords can't be connected into seperate power cords. Is this also right? When I plugged two in one and one in the other both GFCI went off. Is this right? I need to get this fixed before I leave for vacation. Thanks in advance.

Re: Aquatinics Constellation
Your saying,when you touch the prong that wasn't plugged in,it gave a buzz,right?I not sure if this is the way it suppose to be.,give Aquactinics a call.Aquactinics has an question and answer thread on Reef Central,Tom is CS for them.I have the lights connected to two surge protectors but only to one outlet.One surge protector is plugged into the other surge protector and that one is plugged to the wall outlet.

Re: Aquatinics Constellation
If theres electricity coming through the 3rd plug,then there is a problem.
Sounds to me like somebody at the manufacturing level got a wire in the wrong place. I'd give em a call and make em send a new fixture.

Re: Aquatinics Constellation
Gave them a call. Had to leave a message. Guess I'll have to wait until tomarrow to see what the problem is. Man I hope this doesn't stress my fish out. I have no other light to replace this if I need to send it back. My old one is gone. Why me? This sucks.

In the last 6 months we have gone through a fridge,washer,dryer,serpentine belt on the wifes van,starter on the van,busted picture window in the living room from a wayward football,and 3 sick kids right when I'm between insurances(from changing jobs). As for your fish being without a light.During the day,it'll just be like a cloudy day on the reef to them.It shouldnt bother them at all.
