bassman is on a distinguished road
Default Death Toll Update

Death toll update:

5 snails
1 Blue sponge
1 Derasa Clam
1 Pulsing Xenia Colony

Other then that my other corals seem to be recovering, slowly.

I think I got lucky.

I was talking with an electrician at work yesterday and he isn't really sure how much of a shock the tank would have received. Being that the cord came detached from the fan as it fell into the tank and was dangling in the water the current probably wasn't very strong. The electricity would'nt have had a place to ground out. The fan was not drawing any electricity so it was probably a fairly mild voltage.


I am wondering if the copper leaking from the fan motor didn't do the most harm to the tank. Never mind anything else that would have leaked out of it, i.e. grease etc.


It looks like most of my critters and corals will be okay.
I am very bummed that I lost what I did but it could have been much, much worse.
