Well it happened again.....and yet again*updated*

[Leah]

Geez, Glad to hear you are both okay. It is a good reminder to us all.

Whoa...crazy! I bought those crazy long gloves, but rarely use them. Great reminder why we should use them!

I hate that the corals I love will likely kill me one day! I am glad you're alright. I need gloves!

If you were moving rock, you might have also stirred up some bacteria which got onto you and the floor. You would be surprised how sick this can make you. I have come down sick after working in the tank before (before I had zoas even) and after a bit of looking around it appears to be quite common and it is usually foreign bacteria like e. coli, etc (I even learned that diseases such as TB can be passed to you from fish... weird!).

I'm glad you are alive and well and as is your dog. Reefs are death traps and it makes me wonder sometimes... saltwater, tons of electricity, poisonous critters, stining corals, mystery rashes (not wrasses)... Count me in!
