Post powerbar

i got a bit of water in my power bar which had everyting connected to it. so i quickly unplugged it, shook it out, and dryed all the power outlets with a blow dryer, but i'm still nervous about plugging it in, so anyone have any suggestions, think it's ok or fried? i'm gonna leave it overnight to dry even more, i'm ok for now i have everything hooked up to an extension cord with three outlets so everythings on but my flow.

Everthing BUT flow.....eeeeeeeeeeeeeek. Good gawd man, unplug the light and get your flow going!!!! Plug that hair drier into the power bar to check it out. I did the same thing once...even saw steam or smoke...whichever it was. Let it dry in the sun( was REALLY hot that day and plugged it in and it was fine.

Get your flow and your heater plugged in until you can get another powerbar or get that one working. Flow is hugely important. Sacrifice your skimmer if you have to.

Likely your powerbar is fine, let it dry out for a day or two. If you're that worried about it just buy another one, they're relatively cheap. I've gone through quite a few.

Water flow is how your corals breath. Without fresh oxygenated water flowing over the corals constantly it's like they are holding their breath.
