Science experiment of the day. . .
 
Snails do NOT survive electrical current from a broken heater in a 12g nano. . .
 
Mushrooms, purple and watermelon, toast quickly in the electrical current . . .
 
Small clownfish and dwarf hawkfish seem annoyed by electrical current. . . (still alive and well so far. . . may have brain damage Wacko)
 
Various zoas/palys, closed and relocated to 90g. to see if they are dead or just trying to fool the electrical current into thinking they are. . .
 
Acans are a crap shoot. . . relocated to the 90g. to see what happens. . .
 
New heater in tank, escargo for dinner?
 
Kids, do NOT try this at home. . . . Broken Heart

Escargo sounds good. I hope the rest survive.

Some good news. . . acans are tougher than I would have thought.  They survived the voltage.  Also, it looks like a couple of zoas/palys might pull through.
 
Fish are still hanging in there as well.
 
I am soooooo glad I had just started stocking this tank.  Could have been much worse.

That is good news. I'd say you've got it made now.

What kind of heater? Did it break?
I use stealth heaters that are made out of rubber/plastic

Piece of cheap glass heater, and yes it broke.  I have replaced it with one that won't!  The heater was one that we had laying around for a while from another tank - just goes to show that a little investment up front can go a long way!
