I dropped the light I have over my macro algae in the water. So so dumb. Anyway, I immediately got it out, it sizzled, then the breaker flipped. Should I go ahead and replace the setup (Home Depot aluminum clamp cone with lightbulb), or wait til it dries out and see if it works?
I have grape caulerpa/chaeto in there so it has a light on 24/7 since I heard the grape goes sexual FAST. Should I run out and get new light ASAP?
 
Bulb works-I pulled it out, plugged it in to a different light, and TADA. I'm a little nervous to even try the cone clamp though
