So our house or something very close by got struck by lightning last night. We were sleeping and woke up to the loud thunder and our fire alarm going off. The alarm turned off on its own so I did not think much of it and went back to sleep.
The next morning when I got up I noticed that the water level in my main 280 tank was low and the pumps were not on. Future investigation revealed that at least two electrical circuits were out in the house. I went out in the rain and was eventually able to get power back on. The bad news was that the Internet was down (modem and router fried) and 3 of my apex controllers were completely dead.
Long story short, it looks like we lost about $4,000 worth of electronics (thankfully no livestock). I rushed to FJW and purchased two new Apex units and after a full day (and over an our on the phone with Neptune) was able to get everything back online.
