Missing Razor Blade

Sorry, I mean the blade will rust up real quick, I would try using a magnet to find the blade and pull it out.

Okay will do, I'm just afraid its in the rock work somewhere so it might be a little harder than that :\

I've dropped several myself, I know how invisible they get. Good luck..

I don't know how bad it is to leave it, my instinct tells me "metal == bad", but who knows.

Well I'm hoping that Fe isn't considered a "Heavy Metal" but after a little reading I believe if anything It will result in an algae bloom instead of a fish kill off.

If it is a stainless steel blade it wont be magnetic !!

Try the magnet trick first, but if you can't find it, I wouldn't worry about it at that point. Just be careful if you do find a better reason to tear down your rockwork.

My guess is that it will rust until it is completely covered and then it will just sit there since the core metal will be protected b the rust layer from oxidization. or it will just completely corrode. either way i dont think anything bad will come of it except maybe an iron induced algae bloom.

I have never had this happen to a SW tank because I am new at it...

I have had it happen in a FW tank though, I used one of those long poles that bend for picking up nuts, bolts & tools when they fall in around your engine while working on your car (hard to explain - go to the link). As far as the blade not being magnetic – test another blade that you have in the pack of blades on a magnet & that will save you some time...

Hope that helps!
