Just Keep Swimming
Had my 1st flood out of nowhere last night. Would have been fine if it was just a flood because I caught it after about maybe a couple gallons of water. But I had been taking pics of the frag tank so I had the leds sitting on the tank rim. I turned back on the pumps and went outside for a minute. When I did that it must've knocked out my siphon (never had a problem before?)
I come back inside and see only blue on the tank (run blue and white) and more so only maybe 2 blues. Run up to the tank and not only is it overflowing but my entire led fixture is in the water. What the duce. I shut down the light and go straight for working on the led fixture to dry it out. After letting it sit over night I plugged it back in this morning and at first a couple kicked on followed shortly by all leds on-go rapid led.
Im thinkin sweet so I put it back on the tank.....and to my surprise it looks like a bomb went off in there. I dont know if it was stray voltage or something leaching from the fixture into the water but holy crap. I'll get some pics here in a bit. Soooooooo lame. Did a quick 5g wc out of the frag tank and added more to the carbon that was already running on that tank. It is tied into the display but I haven't noticed any problems yet in the display and I had better not.lol
Oh what a morning.phsshhh
