Nice work, I don't think it was luck that saved your tank, you were pretty determined!!

Now, someone mentioned a GFCI outlet. I am no electrician, and am not even sure I know the acronym... ground fault circuit interuptor? Would this thing have prevented your catastrophe? Did you have one already, or are you going to install one now?

Anything that is in or near the water is on GFCI, except for the fan. It is plugged into a controller that is not on a GFCI. I've used this fan for years to keep the sump cool in the summer. The new fan and controller are now plugged into a GFCI.

As some of you may remember I had a partial crash of my 90g due to an incident with a fan. It's now been 6 months since the crash. I lost a few of my larger colonies but the tank is starting to fill in again. Here's a few pics:










My cap was totally bleached out but has come back nicely.




I thought this clam was a goner. Closed up tight for days.



The Fiji Yellow and Fox Coral were in bad shape for a while but they too have rebounded.
