For the _3rd._ time (laugh and insult here) I dropped a 18" T-5 lights
into the tank :) It don't work good after that. On the second one I
managed to talk the store into an exchange.

This time I'm biting the bullet. Do you think that just the bulbs blew
or is the entire thing dead? It's all dried out now.

Thanks.

(Insult here again)

did the bulbs break? if so then im pretty sure just the bulbs blew from
instant cooling. but if they went out and didnt break, this may not be a
good sign :-) . electronics are pretty robust when it comes to water,
but if they got salted you would be better off rinsing the salt water
off thouroughly and then letting the apparatus dry for a day or two
before powering it back up.

I read up on repairing it and even the repair guide says it's cheaper
to buy a new one. Dr's Smith & Foster have it on sale for $49. Did
that.
