Mental Note: Vortechs

[JDigital]

Decided to take a couple minutes and try out a few things with my camera today, I decided to unplug my vortech for these pics.

After I had finished snapping some pics, I went to plug my Vortech back in, and as I plugged the cable back into the controller I took a glimpse at the wet side of the vortech and saw some movement and realized that my 6 Line Wrasse had decided to take a peak INSIDE the pump... I got the plug pulled ASAP but I was about 1sec too late and watched as the pump powered up for a brief second. Not enough to kill or mangle him, but it sure "scrambled his eggs"...

He swam out once it stopped and shot in behind the rocks. Poor guy... stupid thing is that would have been my opportunity to catch him as I have been considering getting him out.

Mental Note: Check your wet sides before powering up!
