1st Flood......well that sucked

[afamousjohnson]

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.lolOh what a morning.phsshhh*

Sounds harsh would defenetly like to see some pics I've had a similar experience with my led strips

That would suck. I hope your frags pull thru.

Ya looks like so far 4-6 frags were wiped out and 4-5 taking on a bleached out look and a handful of others that aren't to happy but look fine. Lamo.
I wonder if the cause was the actual electric aspect with the fixture frying out in the water or if that event caused something to leach or maybe leached off the actual fixture itself???
