Skimmate locker overflow fried electronics - leaving hobby

[ShepherdTech]

I had things laying in the bottom of the stand for my 210 gallon tank (not my brightest moment) and the skimmate locker pressure switch evidently didn’t shut off the skimmer and overflowed into my stand, tripping the breaker, but frying one of my eb832s and a few power supplies. These things I had laying in the bottom of the stand, waiting to mount and Velcro wrap. At this point, I’m not willing to sink more money into things and will simply part out what’s left. At least one Radion XR30W Pro 4th gen power supply is bad and it’s $150 to replace by itself. I’m not really upset, as I have been so busy that I haven’t been spending the time I should be if I’m going to pay to sustain the hobby. Please, don’t leave things laying in the bottom of your stand for any length of time, or you may end up in the situation I am in.
Thanks!

You can replace all those power supplies dirt cheap on amazon. ive done it a million times and all my friends. a few months ago i found a power supply for my friends xr15 radion g4 for less than 20 bucks and has been working perfectly.

Just read the back of the adapter make sure you get one thats the same voltage and the same amperage or higher amperage.
