Default Tank crash caused by Wal Mart fan!
OMG Lance that's terrible. Hope everything turns out ok. Let me know if you need anything, although I know you have some great help nearby. Luckily you didn't stick your hand in the tank before you noticed everything.

Just changed another 15 gals of water, changed out the carbon again and things are looking a lot better. The torch, hammer, Duncan, brain, blastos, candy cane and mushrooms are starting to make an appearance now. The fox coral and all zoas still look in bad shape. The large Yellow Fiji Leather is tightly curled up and looking pretty sad. Too early to tell yet with any of the SPS, though they seem to be sliming less now, whether that's good or bad I don't know. The clam and feather dusters are still closed and still no sign of the shrimps. None of the snails have come out of their shells yet but the large striped spaghetti worm is back out and foraging. I fed a few pellets to the fish to see if they would eat and they scarfed them back so they are definitely ok. Unless I lose all the SPS colonies I'm considering myself pretty lucky.
I'll do another water change before work in the morning and then change the carbon again when I come home. I took pics and will upload them tomorrow.

I would give the return lines a good cleaning too. You know, just to be on the safe side.
