So the other day i had my friend (who is bulky and stronger than i am) move my stand and tank a little towards the wall because i moved it (175lb 6'6'' skinny dude) away to setup my plumbing. Well when he bent down to get a good grip on it, he knocked my canopy light into my tank...on and everything.
I know i should have taken the precautions and everything but i figured my buddy could move this massive object like 2 inched without any problems. But i was wrong. So this is the light that fell into my tank -

After the accident...a couple thousand volts of electricity through my hand...an open wound where i was shocked...and letting the darned thing dry out...i turned it back on and only my white lights worked.
Im sporting a 30gal long...its cycling so i mean my lighting isnt really necassary at the moment...but im moving all operations in a month or so, so i need to get things going.
So i guess what im trying to get at is this: Do you all think that this fixture will be sufficient lighting for a progressing tank? Or should i look at getting a whole new light? Also...should i even be using the white lights that still work or even the whole unit at all since its pretty much been through both hell and not so high water.
