TheyCallMeMr.703 July 18, 2013 Author Share July 18, 2013 It was those small screw.in.socket type compact.flourescent. I think Zoo.med? the reef on/.50.50bulb. The fixture held 2 of them. 2nd time this happened in 3 months. Lol I feel dumb.lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Origami July 18, 2013 Share July 18, 2013 This? The reason that I asked is that it's important to remember that you can shock your corals if you replace the lost lights with something that puts out too much without some time for light acclimation. These Zoo Med's don't look like they put out very much seeing how they only draw 10 Watts each. Is this over your 55? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
treesprite July 18, 2013 Share July 18, 2013 Sorry about the light. I've done that twice myself, and the first time got myself electrocuted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I plan on gettin a led light someone told me about in another forum that is only available to members, if I can afford it in time. Another reason I.m officially becoming a member this weekend. None the less, a light in My particular setup can be hung and lowered from the ceiling, which I could always and plan no doing now, to prevent such tragedy from happening again in the future.

TheyCallMeMr.703 July 18, 2013 Author Share July 18, 2013 Lol, that could.ve been it... Lol. But earlier today after I read a thread about fraging a FilterFan. I decided to go try it since my trigger. Was beginning to munch on them a lil figured it was time. Plus My friend just cleaned up and IS cleaning his 75. Down the street, figured i.d. Hook him up with a frag or 2 and some polyps I had ben fraging., Anywho... While I was doing this the stand next to me fell, I jumped,in the process I pulled My hand out, not thinking, and up .,. and,.. You know the quote. What goes up, Must come down. And that it did. Into the water, I remembers from last last time right before I stuck My hand in. Reached under, pulled the cord and pulled it out, and threw it out the window, where it remains...

treesprite July 19, 2013 Share July 19, 2013 Forrest, why would you do that twice? Clumsy I guess. It was a refugium light dunked in the refugium, not a tank light into the tank. The first time, when I got electrocuted, I did not even put my hand in the water, but grabbed the light on it's dry side when it started into the water. he first time, I opened up the light, dried it with the hair dryer, wiped it with alcohol, and dried it again, then I put it back together and used it until the next time it got dunked. Lesson I learned was to not use a light that is small enough to get knocked into the water, or find some way to position it so that it can't possibly fall in.
