Angry Would anybody care for some soup?

I walked into my fish room a little while ago and it was dark and quite... Im thinking what the hell now! Those of you who know me pretty well know I have crap for luck so far this year, been one thing after another. Well I started checking around on the floor water (thats what happened last time that started the fire) no water to be found. So I went in to the utility room and flipped the breaker back on, and then I heard something getting electricuted. I tipped toe'd backinto the fish room making sure I wasn't walking in any puddles, and saw one of my 110g stock tanks boiling. Apparently it had been boiling for a while before it tripped the breaker cause there was only about 4"s of water left in it, and its 20"s tall.

Apparently, my heater cracked some how and fried everything. Lots a lot of frags that survived the crash along with lots n lots of other stuff including some fishies.


Anybody know if bacteria can survive electricution? The liverock in there is toast, its all brown, no longer purple.

So if anybody wants any soup, Ive got a big stock of it...

If it wasnt for bad luck, I'd have no luck
