just wondering, is this cause by electric current? short circuit on the water?
causing all of your fish to be sick? even if you don't have it GFCI, your circuit breaker should go off. Just my thought. maybe you should consider checking it?? It happen to me once but not a fan, a battery operated led touch lamp, i think with four AA battery all fell on the sump overnight and leave no problem with the main tank, the skimmer did all the clean up. I empty the skimmer cup and saw all the juice from the battery.. thanks, teddy

Lights aren't on yet so I don't know how everything is doing this morning. Small water change before work. Skimmer cup filled overnight so there's still a lot of crap in the water. Will do another water change after work and change out the carbon again.
Pics: This is the culprit that caused all the grief. Fan fell right out of the base into the sump. Breaker did trip but the tank obviously got a good jolt.  Fox Coral  Should look like this:  Hammer coral  clam  Duncan  Torch coral

Wow, that is so scary and sad. Hopefully your corals and fish return to normal in no time for you. I also use a fan just like that over my display, really has me thinking of what I can use now, sure don't want to go through what you've been through. Good Luck!

Well it looks like I've lost my two largest SPS colonies.
 The blue-tipped Stag has expelled all its zooxanthellae and is completely bleached. The orange Monti-Cap still has some colour left but not much. Two other smaller colonies are toast as well: (Acropora Lovellei & Sky Blue Loisetteae). Two large Pocci's don't look very good and my Hammer Coral is hurting, but I think will pull through. All other corals seem ok. Both cleaner shrimp made an appearance and all the fish are fine. I have done 3x 20gal water changes, changed the carbon twice and still the skimmer is pulling the blackest, most putrid skimmate I've ever seen. This afternoon I'm going to do a 50% water change and change the carbon again. All very depressing but I think how much worse it could have been.
