Well that sucks.
My story is turning on a pump to test it with an external skimmer I had on my old JBJ28... Well I hooked up one end, but not the other and when I plugged it in, I started pumping water everywhere. What was bad about that is that I pumped water all over the electrical/surge bars. things were crackling and smoking, and basically my coralife timer/bar turned black and burnt to a crisp.
I think we all have a story.
