Tank Nightmare

[lastlight]

I've been woken up to loud dursos or pipes sucking air. I freak out and run downstairs preparing for the worst. Another time it was a crab that made it into the intake of my return pump. But there is nothing like waking up thinking the water isn't in the tank anymore. In this regard ppl with 20 gallons must sleep like babies!

From personal experience, I can say that even 10 gallons of salt water can make quite a bit of mess. Snick-crack-whoosh. There's a good soundtrack for a nightmare...

I cannot tell my dreams on this board

Every now and again I'll have a dream that there's some tank somewhere that I've forgotten about, and I'll find it after it having been run unattended for like 6 months and there will be 1" of water in there. And yet strangely there would still be things alive in there.

I'm not sure that I've dreamt about a tank letting go (if I have, I don't recall). I do enough to spill water on the floor in real life that (I hope) I don't need to dream about it to fill that particular niche in my life.

I had one once that the center brace on my 180 let go, and the tank bowed almost 2" in the middle....wait....IT REALLY HAPPENED!

I dreamt once of fairly large aquatic monster like creatures coming out of the LR in my Triggerfish tank. Seriously. They were sorta alligator like, but not. It was some time ago and I really don't remember what they looked like. It was kinda freaky. I sleep beside this tank as it's in the bedroom.

Pleasant dreams,
