Sorry to hear that.

Water changes are the best thing to do and some carbon/cuprizorb.

If you know someone who can babysit your corals and the clam it might be best to move them to a stable tank.

Was it a fluorescent fixture? How long was it in the tank?

Cheers,
Tim

Yes, it was a compact fluorescent, 24 inches. It fell in at an angle.

I've been busily putting my $$$$ corals into my daughters pico nano while I test the parameters of my 14 gallon QT that is currently curing liverock. The rest are just going to have to try to hang on because I have no more room.

The snails and bristleworms are dying off and I've got my puny skimmer going full tilt. I am pulling all the deads out of the tank as soon as I see them.

Will it have killed the copepods and othe beneficials in the liverock? What about the sand?

sorry to hear.
the bacteria in your tank should be fine.
it may be more contamination from the light than electrocution.
waters changes and carbon for sure.

It happened overnight the night before last. So I surmise 10 hours maximum.
