I would give the return lines a good cleaning too. You know, just to be on the safe side.

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!

Lance,

Hopefully things will be okay. And they say reefing is peaceful and relaxing, huh! Never been so stressed as when I started reefing.
