I have heard similar things happen to other folks, did you try placing it in a bag with rice?

Just to provide preventative measures for anyone else following this thread. If you work on lighting over your tank place a piece of plywood or something over your tank to prevent the same mistake. Not bashing the OP but just trying to help anyone that needs a reminder to be careful.

I had read years ago in reference to marine electronics (radios, depth sounders, etc.) that got dipped in salt water; rinse well with fresh water (we'd use RO/DI) to remove the salt water, then rinse in rubbing alcohol. The alcohol will flush away the water and then evaporate. Might also me good to use rice afterwards.
