+1, this happened to me before to when I was younger, but in my case the tank I was helping someone with had its hanging kit semi fail and the bulbs broke on my head and into the tank. Luckily nothing in the tank died. too make this more entertaining, this was the same tank that had a bad rio pump that electricuted the hell out of me.

id do a wc and get a polypad just in case, the polypad will pull what ever out, guessing the chemicals cant be too good
