Manual floats are less reliable than electronic. Electronic has endless capabilities for redundancy and safety back-ups. Salt creep alone is enough to keep a manual float from closing.

The 100mm will make a better macro yes in both tanks and other situations. You'll gain around 4-5" in distance. I'm not a canon guy but I believe the 100mm is a better lens all around as well, also...

30min isn't long enough to cause problems but it's probably related some how. Are you certain power was only out for that long? Does your equipment start up properly after power outages?
