SPS + electircity= RTN
 

Well... as I was reaquascaping my tank all of my SPS collection were in the sump with a clip on light providing some sort of light for them... my wife accidentally pulled on the cord while opening a drawer in the desk beside the tank nocking the light into the tank... it was in there for maybe 5 seconds... an hour later as the displyb was in shambles and at about 75 degrees I finally got the temp up to 78 and put the corals back into the tank... the water in the sump was murky and most of the corals were bleached BIGTIME some of the smaller frags appear to be OKish but all of my collonies are in RTN

Corals I lost
Large pink mille, large yellow mille, Large Bubblegum acro, large purple bottlebrush acro, large Bali Slimer, Huge orange cap, Large purple cross, Large blue tipped stag, large strombus staghorn, leng-sy cap frag, yellow and green humulis

Touch and go corals
Pink table frag, Cali tort frag, green mille frag, a. efflo frag

PS Jesse once I save up some $$$$ I'll be callin for more frags :lol:

Ah well you just gotta suffer sometime to appriciate what good things you have

PS anyone have any experience with electricity and coral survivability?? opinions or experiences would be welcomed

Cheers
Dan

no GFI? no grounding probe?

not on the light unfortunatly... had a powerbar plugged in from the other side of the room...

Its doesnt feel good when people get electricuted so i assume it would be the same for corals. Sorry to here maybe some will resurect.

yeah that's ****y... sorry to hear dude.

Anything different you think you're going to do this time?

ouch
 

sorry to hear dude. thats a big loss of acros. aren't you lucky you haven't come by to get that blue milli? Now you can :lol:

Oh Crap man sorry to hear that, Isn't that the second time you've lost....

Dang man. I'm glad I got a chance to see them a couple of weeks ago, but dang. Not really stocked with sps so I can't really help you restock. Sorry.:(

First time was a tank I broke while drilling it.... Thanks for the offer... I'll take you up on it once the RTN stops... Pink table gone today :(

Aww that sucks. Luckily I've only dropped a light into the refugium and my freshwater tank so far. No casualties, except for the lights :wink: .
