    The pump for my refugium melted. Then put a hundred twenty Volts in my tank for a day :-(
    Only lost one fish and this coral has been still pulling back tank about two weeks. Is there anything I can do? I went to try to cut the top off and refrag it but when I brought it out it was running up the side of the good head too so I would have to cut it at a crazy angle. So I just put it back in the tank.

    Buy a ground for your tank and sump. I don't run a tank without them. Sorry to hear man

    Agreed, I have my DIY grounding probe.
    For me, there is always a water column between my sump and tank, so I use one in my sump- I tested with my multimeter- works for both tanks.
