And then....
Seems I plugged it into an outlet that is controlled by a light

It's sad to see these newsgrops so dead now.  They were a wonderful
resource full of a lot of useful information.  Now I only see spam.
I have a question for anyoe left.
I am setting up my 47 gallon corner tank again and would like to
