Well, for me it was a simple 20$ powerhead mafunction, but I have a REAL grounding probe now.

I guess the safest way to go about all this is to just do a routine check of all your equipment periodically. Also, install those outlests. I have them in my kitchen, be after reading this, will definately be getting them at my tanks!

If you were trying to be sincere you should've said you almost fried your butt instead of that lame story about your corals!!!

uhhh, its not a lame story, thanks you! No, but seriously, its true, some of them did bleach, especially the cabbage leather.

here is a pic of it when it was bleached.

you can see how it is a whitish color, especially on the outside.



some of my giant sun polyps still have a few white areas on them, but i dont have any pics.

No, its serious stuff. If you get some male LR and female LR, it will breed in your tank inder the right conditions. That is why if you go to liveaquatia, and look under the difficulty level of LR, it says moderate.
