I'd be more concerned about it sterilizing your life and just get a new light lol.

Even if electricity kills bacteria, I doubt you could accidentally sterilize the entire tank this way but I am welcome to be proven wrong.

already replaced the light. I got something a bit more powerful for later upgrades.

Meh went through youtube to post the video


there's a pistol shrimp who i never see in the pit where i focus on the base of the rock. the only way to see him is to focus light on the den and id rather not do that and stress him out too much.

Well there’s nitrates in the tank (about 20 ppm). Not sure what’s up with the nitrites test though. Maybe faulty or the nitrate conversion is just slow for some reason? The ammonia test seems to show that there’s still a bit in the tank, but none of my fish are showing signs of ammonia poisoning after several weeks at this point so I think it might be an accuracy problem.
