Electrocuted entire tank!!! - Death Toll Update

[bassman]

1st I am very sorry to hear about your loss, trust me I now know exactly how felt.

I was just wondering, did the bulb break? Light bulbs contain some pretty nasty chemicals and gases.

I read you original thread and some of what you seem to have experienced hasn't to happen to me (yet), as far as the merkyness (sp?) in your sump water goes and none of my corals have bleached.

Obviously I am reaching for straws here, just hoping I don't loose everything.

Update for today is that my fish all appear fine. The white edges on my purple tangs fins are gone. All are eating and acting normal.

My corals have not returned to normal by any means. Some of them appear to be a little more open then yesterday and others are totally closed. My frogspawn looks grey :-( and my star polyps have not opened at all. My poor feather duster looks totally frazzled but atleast it's coming out.

I guess it's a waiting game now. I did a 10% water change tonight and I will do 10% a day for a couple of days atleast. I added new carbon to my sump and am planning to replace that in a few days as well.
