about a week ago,there was a power loss due to a bad storm in my area,my aquarium lost power for about 15 min.

then next morning my 3 corals all softies,where shriveld and all polyps where closed,my tangs also started developÃ*ng,ick

all water parameters are in check

after cheking all the equipment i noticed that 3 of my intank powerheads are no longer working,

i removed them and all seems to be back to normal,
ick is going away and corals are extending

im thinking stray electricity,anyone have a link ,or a something similiar hapen ,thanks

Interesting. I have not heard of anything like that. Maybe they cracked a bit and leached chemicals or a bit of current.
