Default OOOOPS!!!! I made a mistake
Well after coming home from a 4 day camp trip, to find a coral died and made things kinda stinky, I decided to do a water change. Well for some reason my heater which shuts down out of water didn't, and next thing I know I heard a big POP and my GFCI blew.... IT SCARED ME!!!! But the GFCI did its job.

I guess I need to buy a new heater tomorrow oh well.

On another note, got my new Hamilton Belize Sun (5 Foot) light fixture last friday... So I also got that all in place today. All I can say is WOW!!! very nice fixture so far, can't wait until the MH bulbs burn in, but already I like.

I will, hopefully tomorrow... My water was kinda green and smelly from the coral death. Don't know why it died it was really happy, but I did move it before my camp trip. You know sometimes you should just leave things as they are.

Hopefully water is all cleared up tomorrow, if so, I will get some pic's taken.
