Injuries cause buy your tank

- slipped on the ice carrying my 135g sump. landed on my legs and hand. had trouble walking for a bit nevermind running.

- poorly attached hose came free on a pump and splashed water all over a power bar in my fishroom. i got jolted really well fumbling around in the dark to try and turn the dj strip off that fed it.

Did the sump break?

I could only imagine the sparks lighting up the fish room as you were trying to kill the power

Ooh, jolts. Yeah that reminds me. Been zapped a couple times too. I think the best time was when I tried to find out if turning out my lights caused the owwie-zappiness of the tank to go away, and then I found out it was actually my sump return pump. To the external observer only 1 second of time elapsed. Internally in my head a very large lengthy written assay started to form of which the thematic elements were the question "how can I pull my hand out of this water box of zappy pain? It would be nice if my hand wasn't in this water right now. Bloody hell, this is unpleasant." (ad nauseum)
