[AquaticLife] silly question????????
If you are “worried” about the electricity, then you could unplug things or if you have everything on a power strip, just turn off the one switch. I don’t worry about it too much as you would have to be barefoot and standing in a puddle of water or holding onto a metal grounded item before you would face any serious electrical shock. If you have rubber soled shoes on and are not standing in water and you’re not holding onto something metal outside of the tank, then there’s a very miniscule chance of anything ever happening. Following is an article about “Stray Electricity” that can happen in our tanks and how it affects our fish… usually the lateral line system. This article is on a SW site since salty water is more prone to stray voltage since salt water conducts electricity better. http://www.reefs.org/library/aquarium_net/996/996_5.html
