Very nice shots, too bad they were so expensive to take.

Pics looks great but that really sucks!

I'm kicking myself is the ass for letting this happen. I've put in a bag with rice and will try to get it RMA... I got nothing to lose right?

One time i used my oven set to the lowest temp to help dry out a smart phone...worked for me.

Share your story. What measure do you take to prevent it. I hope someone learns from my experience.

well it wasnt that bad, i just had it on top of my 150g. its acrylic, so they have a small opening in the middle, i just set it too close the edge w/o realizing and it almost went in!

now i use a sheet of eggcrate so i could put the light anywhere w/o worrying about it falling in the water

I just bought my speedlte a few weeks ago . . . I'm only going to place mine on the glass top, which has no openings that will allow that to happen. Sorry to hear about your costly lost. On a positive note, this might be a chance for you to upgrade. Best wishes.
