ethan29nano Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Me too , that is a serious problem , and very dangerous...I would send it back Link to comment
DevilBoy Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 i dont know if they will replace it or not. that option was never giving to me. all Ike told me was that their dual timers will correct the problem Link to comment
ethan29nano Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 wow , they should replace it, for your own safety.., and for theyre reputation Link to comment
lgreen Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 A dual timer does not correct the problem. Even w/ a dual timer, if you unplug one plug for any reason at all, you are exposing your self to a pretty serious risk of shock. Link to comment
ethan29nano Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 That is pretty serious if ya ask me..lol Unplugging the cord is a serious risk , if you touch that , and complete the current , that will probally hurt. Link to comment
lgreen Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Yep. Sounds like maybe they took a shortcut and tried to put all the lights on the same circuit rather than doing individual circuits for each light. Link to comment
asiankidd2 Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 someone brought this up earlier with the problem of running the lights on the seperate timer and i told them that most likely that both plugs are wired on the same circuit, and then when one is unplugged the other one would still be powered, and now i hear about people getting shocked...lol sorry guys but the wiring is screwed up, and current's excuse for saying thats the way it is wired is absolute bull s*it down with the aquapod, and down with the nano fission skimmer they both suck! sorry just had to vent, im a unhappy current usa product owner.

ethan29nano Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 that sounds like what they did. Your fingers would be the other side of the current , from the other plug that is plugged in...lol this is great! This is exactly why i stay away from theese nanocubes , and aquapods. With your own set up you know that everything you buy will be good ( if you do it right) and you know everything has good reviews , your tank will be a awesome equipment machine...lol Link to comment
Nano93 Posted January 4, 2006 Author Share Posted January 4, 2006 Is that why the company name is "CURRENT". Just having some fun. Link to comment
doncb Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Is that why the company name is "CURRENT". Just having some fun. Priceless! So now we see that Current has it's own issues and isn't the "savior" like they were hyped to be. Problems w/ the AP, problems w/ the Fusion. I'd demand a new hood. A dual timer does not FIX the problem. Link to comment

Heres what I posted earlier and pics of the hood wiring. http://www.nano-reef.com/forums/index.php?...pic=74984&st=20 Link to comment
chieferich Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 so, what is the likelyhood that one buying an aquapod will have this issue? only some of the pods were wired this way? Link to comment
lgreen Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 sounds like all pods were wired this way, but not all "shock" you. not sure. Link to comment
MillerLite Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 If they wont replace the hood, maybe they should throw in the timer for free then. If the damn thing will only work with their specific timers, then why dont they come as part of the package? No matter what anyone says, this sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen. Dumber things have happened to people because of faulty products and they were successful in their lawsuits (ie. hot coffee in the McDonalds drive through) Link to comment
stoney waters Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Do these tanks come with serial numbers? Current should put out an immediate recall on defective units. Not only for their sake but the safety of their customers. Link to comment
ebin Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I see this becoming just like the cracked few cubes, and an outcry to boycott this unit as well. how bout jbj and current merge...they could sell the "nanopod" with the cubes hood and the pods tank. Link to comment
lgreen Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 lol or just stop buying cubes and buy REAL tanks Link to comment

Eskie Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 Does anyone know if this unique and creative wiring method is just used on the 12g, or have any 24g buyers tried it out for shock therapy? OTOH, it could allow you to brew a cup of coffee while doing water changes without using up a plug on your power strip..... Link to comment
Reefer Addict Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 im sorry i was wrong, Ike just informed that this issue is only on a select few 12g tanks, and that they just tested 650 12g's for this same shocking hazard and all 650 of them were fine. But he did say only a handful have contacted Current about this shocking hazard I can just picture this "Ike" guy working in "Current's" quality assurance department telling "Tina" to plug in one plug while he holds the tips of the exposed plugs..... I wonder who he picked as the beta testers for their last two products... Link to comment

I wonder who he picked as the beta testers for their last two products... Only on a "select few"? Does that make them "special"? Actually you've got it wrong RA. Ike says," Tina, would you hold the end of this plug for a few seconds? I need to test something." And Tina says, "Like totally!" ZZZZZZZZAAAAAAPPPPPP!!!!! Link to comment
chieferich Posted January 4, 2006 Share Posted January 4, 2006 I hope they read this. Link to comment

As for the 24 gallons models, they really have just begun to hit the street. I've yet to see one with the 64 watt PC hood yet..... but I should soon, sometime next week. Link to comment
