Would It Affect Anything??? Ooppss....

Oopps... accidentally dipped part of my light into the water while doing a partial change of water just now. Fortunately, nothing was killed but i did experience a slight shock when i took the light out(Yeah was a little stupid=\ but that was my first reaction) and turned off the light quickly. Now its currently off and left to dry.

So would the bacteria be affected? As in some of them would have died?

You should be much more careful than to chase after a light fixture that has dropped into the water... you should turn off the mains/power point before retrieving.

Dry the unit thoroughly for a few hours before switching it on again. Make sure its 100% dry and no salt crystals are present.

Your bacteria will be fine... and will repopulate quickly if any died.

Wonder if u actually ionised or deionised your H20.

Yeah... lesson learnt, shouldn't have gone after it. Very silly move.

As a added precaution next time i would disconnect all lights before i meddle with my tank and hopefully remember to turn them back on

Now leaving it to dry and would get rid of any salt crystals on it.
