So I had one of the lids off of my 100 gal tank last night....I was reaching in behind one of the corner mattenfilters to double check the brand/wattage of the heater.
Well, my heater controller was apparently not secured to anything (whoops, bad Chris!) and fell into the tank. I'm so glad that my hands were not in the water at that second!!!
Well, there was a quick half second of zapping and sizzling and then my GFCI popped the circuit and shut everything off.
Anyhow, just had to share my moment of freaking-out last night. I'm just so thankful that I have all of my tanks on a GFCI. Here's the one I like....it seems to be sensitive when I need it to be, but not too sensitive that it's tripping all the time for no reason.
Anyhow....I've taken the heater controller apart to let it dry out and will see if it still works in a few days. In the meantime, I've ordered another just in case it's dead. The fish didn't seem to be affected at all.
