Thanks Nate,

The daily ammonia testing will begin tonight. I am scheduled to change my water tomorrow anyways so I get more water ready right after that just in case I need it.

When you say chemical filtration are you referring to carbon?

Pretty sure he means carbon.

How's the tank doing today? What bad luck for the fan to fall into the tank

I thought so too. I am running some now, I always do but I will replace it with some new stuff tonight.

It's hard to tell as my lights were off this morning and had been since 8:00 o'clock last night so most of my corals would normally be closed anyways.

I did find one dead snail this morning. The conch that I thought was dead last night has since moved so he must be okay. My harlequin shrimp, arrow crab and hermits all seem fine.

The fish are always behind the rock work in the AM so I couldn't see how they were doing, none of them died anyways so that's good.

I did see some pods with my flashlight this morning, that to me is a good sign. I would think that they would have fried first.

My elegance coral (which had the fan laying right on top of it) seemed to be opened up a bit more this morning and my clam was 80% open too.

I will know more when I get home afterwork, which seems like days away LOL

I couldn't even eat last night I felt so sick to my stomach.

It looks like I might have gotten lucky. Only time will tell I guess.
One of my concerns is how many toxins were released into the water by all of my corals and anemones trying to defend themselves against what they probably thought was an attack. My skimmer looked like someone had poured dish washing soap into it last night, major foam. I cranked it up a bit so it will skim more wet today, hopefully that will help. It didn't seem too be quite as foamy this morning.

I am still crossing my fingers.

Sounds like things are pulling through okay.....

I would continue doing regular water changes and running lots of carbon to remove as much toxins, etc as possible.

If your fish are alive and corals/inverts are showing signs of life.. I'd say things are looking up.

Good luck and sorry to hear the unfortunate news.
