hi, had this experience today 1hr before i left for work. my reef tank was on all lights, ext. 1100 watts. the 3 prong adaptor going into the wall outlet made a sizzel noise, after looking at it one prong was black also the plastic casing, the power surge strips end was black on one prong also. this has been running like this for 1 yr, minis 100watts or so for the little ad on's. i have the tank on 1, 15 amp circuit, my 500watt ballast is only 5amp. any ideas on a safer hook up? thanks walt. :?
