n0rk Posted April 10, 2009 Share Posted April 10, 2009 Well, let's see if I can turn that frown upside down. And don't say you can't take the same pics. It just takes a lot of patience. The biggest hurdle is to get them to stop for just a second.. fast little buggers. Having a good kit to use doesn't go astray either it would seem Maybe if you tried to sweet talk it, y'know, put on some candles, turned the lights off and played some Barry White they'd slow down? I hear that works on all kinds of things. Especially the ladies. Link to comment

n0rk Posted April 11, 2009 Share Posted April 11, 2009 You sure like to dance in a naughty manner eh? I can dig it. In fact, call me a shovel. ps. your tank needs at least 5 more Sharks. Link to comment
Lalani Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 When I think things can't possibly get any worse.......... One of the three lunar lights I attached to the tek fixture fell into the tank today... Couldn't have been in the water any longer than a minute before I noticed, but apparently that's plenty of time to pi$$ everything off.. A few zoas have started to open up again (hours later).. Blah.

Nanobuds Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 aww man that sucks... hope everything gets better. does the light still work? or did it short-circut? Link to comment
mikellini Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I had an R2 moonlight attached to the part of my canopy that swung open, so if I didn't close it carefully, it would pop off an into the water... and there was never a problem. None of the inhabitants seemed to notice if it fell in (for extended periods sometimes) and it always worked after I let it dry out. Until it got rusty at the connections, and I had to get another one. That reminds me, I still have no moonlights! What kind do you run lalani? Link to comment
Lalani Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 water+electricity= FAIL Setosa seems to be losing color... aww man that sucks... hope everything gets better. does the light still work? or did it short-circut? The light was still shining while it was in the water. The connector is corroded, but if I clean it out and let it dry it will probably still work.

BibleSue Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Just rinse it will & let it dry out. Hubby saved many a TV & appliance after hurricane & intercoastal flooding. He took TV's out behind the shop & rinsed the insides with a hose. You have to be sure it is good & dry or it will short. Hope everyone recovers OK. Link to comment
lakshwadeep Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 I've been thinking about getting LED moonlights to see the tank at night, but all these horror stories make me nervous. Link to comment
n0rk Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 If you do decide to reuse it after being dried out, make sure it's been rinsed of any salt thoroughly or it will screw out and runs the risk of catching fire. If it was freshwater you'd be in the clear, but because it's been in salt water the chances of it ever drying out fully while the salt is still there is virtually zero... Link to comment
Mr. Fosi Posted April 12, 2009 Share Posted April 12, 2009 Suxorz. What part(s) of the electrical bits were exposed to the water? It could have run much current through the tank and the voltage would be low too... I wonder why everything freaked out. I'd also be more worried about the PCBs or components corroding from the SW exposure. If you rinse it right quick, you minimize risk but it's no guarantee that it will work. Link to comment
Lalani Posted April 12, 2009 Author Share Posted April 12, 2009 Thanks guys. I really don't care if the light still works or not, I'm just worried about the tank right now.. Everything still seems to be struggling, except for a few zoas. I did a small water change, but I'm mixing more sw for a larger one. Isaac, the entire lunar light was in the water. Good thing they float. Link to comment
