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

Powerbar will be fine. I've ran them under water before. No, not fro the fishtank, but outside. Nothing in a power bar to screw up, and a little water is not going to short it out. Just dry it overnight and youll be fine

BTW, I am an electrician, so I speak with experience

Before you kill yourself get a GFI power bar(RONA) or a GFI plug outlet put in
