No kidding!! You should see one of those baby's blow!! Water went over the back of the tank when I broke the siphon trying to get a fish out of the overflow box. Sparks were popping and flashing all over. The tank lights were flickering...this was before the new lighting Thank God, and I'm trying to kick that burning mess out from under the water flow while trying to stop it (wondering if I'm gonna electrocute myself to death standing in water). You know the situation is all wrong, but your looking at all the fish and coral in the tank and your mind is racing. What do you do? I just kept kicking power out of the walls. I can't believe I didn't get zapped. THAT really scared the crappers out of me!!! That power strip and everything else back there was burned beyond recognition. I got the fish out of the overflow though. That's something that we still have to remedy on our set up. We still get a fish in there now and then. Last time it happened , it was our Coral Beauty that went in there, and we have not idea how she even got in there. She's a pretty good sized fish!
I'm glad you all are safe and that you were there to handle it Jason. It is very scary!!!! You have to take care of those beautiful girls you have there!!
