Help Borderline tank emergency, Apex fried

[lilbitreefer]

Ok, so I was in the process of changing out return pumps. I thought I had unplugged the old pump(I miss labeled the cord apparently) and it was out of the water, however now far enough away fromt my apex. Turns out there was just enough water in that pump to splash up and fry the system. I unplugged everything let it dry out. It now will not turn on. one bar flashes red while the other flashes yellow. I have contacted apex about fixing them and I am waiting on a reply. Can anyone help with this or am I SOL? Right now I have a random surge protector on to keep the tank running. Thanks

Too late, if it fried it when the water hit then ya, sol. Even letting it dry out won’t help due to the salt that would be left behind.

Saltwater and electronics don’t mix well.

That’s awesome news from apex but sucks it happened in the first place. IME tho most splashes can be fixed but you can’t run power through it until you have removed all the salt
