Burnt smell and dying fish??

[FishyKat]

I woke up this morning to something smelling burnt, like burning rubber. I can't find anything that's the cause of the smell. I looked everywhere, outlets, heater, pumps.

All my fish (2 clowns and clown goby) are all dying. They are still breathing, I put them in a little breeder box in my larger tank and hopefully they'll pull through.

I can't find the source of the smell. The only thing I did to the tank yesterday was to refill the ATO and I poured some of the water into the overflow in the back since it was a bit low

My corals are really unhappy. I can see one dead sexy shrimp, cant find the others

Any ideas? I am going to do a WC right now

Note: The fish perked up after a few minutes in the other tank.

Something shorted somewhere. You really need to keep looking until you find it. Not to sound too dramatic, but your house, your life, could depend on it.

Did you completly remove the equipment and closely examine them? The pump, for example, I would open up the impeller housing and inpsect it and if the rotor can be removoed check the inside of the pump where it goes.

I found the pump had stopped working, I feel like that's the cause.
