Back in 2003 ish I was messing with my basement sump when I first set it up. Trying to jam a piece of acrylic in place in the sump before work.
Should have left things alone! The acrylic slipped. Jambed my top of my right hand against it. Cut through my tendon on the top of my finger.  I have a cool scar to show for it

Two weekends ago I tried shifting one rock. I swear it must have been the kestone for the whole pile because everything started to wobble. One touch of my finger and one whole side of the pile collapsed! I redid it with a little more structural soundness (and some epoxy).

Oh cmon Guys......thats the first rule of reef keeping isnt it???
 DONT TOUCH THE ROCK WORK! .....Its a scientific fact that when skin touches LR a chemical reaction occurs that changes the molecular structure of the rock, making it impossible to put back the way it was

I wasn't even touching rock, just moving an unmounted colony. And now I have to touch it again to fix it, since it shifted 2 inches and may fall over anytime now...

I reached in to right a clam last night and a colony fell off the rock (apparently it wasn't attached very well). I'm tempted to just take the colony to the LFS, theres no way I'll get it reattached without causing some sort of issue
