Unfriendly Reminder
Well had my vortechs off last night do do some cleaning around the tank, and then powered them back up probably the first time i never did the walk around to ensure no one is chilling out in the wet side. Powered them up only to find my mystery wrasse was in one. He died almost instantly from internal injuries i assume he did not look to injured or was not breathing heavy when i reached in to pull him out of the dt so no one would pick on him. This was upsetting as he was our first fish in the tank and we had had him for about 1.5 years and his colouring was just stunning. So i learned the hard way to check my pumps just thought i would pass it on to others before powering them up do a walk around.

I would not. I would probably moan and complain, read three words and swear once or twice. But since you made it this far, please rate my builds.

What a way to go, sorry to hear about it. We all tend to learn the hard way about certain things. It just sucks!
