    It dosent look that bad. Depending on the circuit you could buy the parts and resaulder, unless on the other side of that board is the micro processor. if thats the case you are not in good shape.

    It doesn't look bad brother.. I have repaired FAR WORSE!!! I can take a look it if you want, no charge.. Unless it requires parts I may not have, but I don't think so. Those are VERY basic circuit boards. Remember, I work on cellphones, there isn't much I haven't seen or worked on.. :) PM me & I'll give you my shipping address... Those green packs are batteries so it will remember the settings when power is lost. It really takes a lot to smoke it.

    If you do manage to fix it... document the process! I'd be very interested to see...

    You should really be more careful around the sensitive electronics used in our reef environments. Perhaps relocated your electronics to an area that's no as close to your tank to avoid situations like this in the future. Dummy. :)

    Haha thanks Ricky. I guess now I have a lot more responsibles and have to think about these things. And it's not my fault... Bubbles put the stupid thing down there and I told him not to! Then Corey and Trevor messed with all the wiring so that probably was the problem to begin with
