![]() I haven't had a heater blow up but I did have a mishap where my MH and Pc's fell in the tank. Not sure why but I didn't loose anything. Skimmer pulled rusty colored skum out of the tank for a couple of days from the various metels that coroded due to electrified salt water.

![]() Oh man. That really sucks, sorry to hear about it, man.
Like someone mentioned above, maybe some local fellow reefers can offer up some frags? Or something? Don't give up! If something like this happened to me, I'd want people to tell me not to give up, throw a little encouragement my way. Good luck ![]() |

![]() Man that sucks. My theory....... If you have your heaters in your sump and have a grounding probe close by the electricity should go almost directly to the grounding probe. So none of the electricity should make it's way into the display tank thus reducing a killer jolt to any livestock. Now if you don't have a sump I would put the probe as close as I could to the most concentration of electrical things in the tank. This is just my thoughts. But man don't give up. Take this oportunity to make any changes you've always wanted to and start again.
