So I have been on shutdown from work since last Friday. I decide to stop bye and check and feed my 6 gallon desk tank. I have a friend who was working feed while I was away. So I get there and there is that dreaded electrical burning smell and black film on the water surface. The Rio 600 Pump burned up! Must have just happened this morning as the most of the fish and inverts still alive, but I did lose 1 small clownfish. So after a run to Neptunes, Robert helped me with 10 gallons of water from his display system (I needed warm SW right away, carbon, and polyfilter) and l did 100% water change and installed a new pump. Hopefully the tank will be ok.
Now 3 hours later I can still smell the burning smell on my hands. Soap and Water isn't cutting it. Any thoughts to washing it away? Afraid to tough my home tanks until its gone.
