Is it at all possible to electricute my corals???

 

[Deanos]

Yes.

 

[Breezp]

[Deanos]

Stray voltage

 

[Craig]

do you use a grounding probe?

Sorry to hear that pauly

That really sucks, i hope everything opens up again, u were so happy when i talked 2 u an hour ago, hows the purple tang doing. If the eagle eyes dye, i'll try to frag u another piece. Good luck, ttyl pauly

Not only your Corals but yourself as well.

nothing died, my hippo tang is got ich badly, and i think hes immune to garlic, everything is fine its just closed. However my frogspawn is lookin a lil pale....

 

[Breezp]

yup just read deano's link, tahts what happened, thnx deanos. Do u guys think everything is going to be ok.

 

[jhale]

it's hard to say, depends how much and how long they were getting shocked.

 

[PalmTree]

Happened to me once and I traced it to a faulty power head. Ever since then I always use a grounding probe and have never had a problem since. My corals were a bit ill for a few days but everything went right back to normal. Good luck!

I was reading somewhere on this site where someone had a fish or two that kept getting ick. Eventually they found out that it had something ot do with stray voltage and it involved and A/C somehow or the other. MAybe that the reson your fish has ich?

 

[Breezp]

they were only exposed to voltage for less than 10 sec, but the frogspawn thats pale, will it get its color back??

 

[Breezp]

i dont know, the fish had ich then it went away but now its back, im trying everything... i realli dont wanna loose him... hes my fav.

 

[barebucta]

You won't lose him, try a cleaner wrassle, I seen one in Peter's (ulmo) tank and i just ahd to get one. He picks and cleans all day + he was only about 8 dollars. Worth a try.

 

[Breezp]

yea but they are hard to keep in captivity.... when all you eat is parasites, its hard to survive... i dont know how they do it in the wild...
