Default 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

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
