schaferfred Posted May 17, 2004 Author Share Posted May 17, 2004 Originally posted by Chyendra That really stinks.... but why did the kid have drano in the first place? good luck starting over Well it just so happens that I had a clog in our bathroom sink and the Drano was sitting on the counter. My sister stopped over and my nephew ran back to look at the tank like he always does and I forgot about the Drano being on the counter. Well about 2 hours later he said "I put some water in the aquarium just like you do." Well he just seen a container and thought it was water. X) Link to comment

mapv281 Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 that's why i locked my room yesterday when my friend had her niece over Link to comment
schaferfred Posted May 17, 2004 Author Share Posted May 17, 2004 Live and learn I guess. I guarantee he will NEVER have an unsupervised visit to the tank again. LMAO mineralrock...I can only imagine your heart pounding while that was happening. Link to comment
Farrah Posted May 17, 2004 Share Posted May 17, 2004 That would suck sooo bad... I wonder what awful things will happen when my 21 month old nephew comes to visit for a couple weeks. He won't have access to chemicals but, but I can imagine him trying to throw in anything and everything. I could even see him trying to get in the thing... he loves water. Its gonna be fun Goodluck getting everything going again! Link to comment
schaferfred Posted May 17, 2004 Author Share Posted May 17, 2004 Good luck Farrah with the visit from your nephew. Keep a close eye on 'em. Link to comment
DitchPlains Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 The stupid kid didn't drink the Drano, then you'd be in serious ####, with your sister and your conscious. Good Luck your new tank looks good. Link to comment
schaferfred Posted May 18, 2004 Author Share Posted May 18, 2004 Tell me about it Ditchplains........and thank you. Link to comment
schaferfred Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 Tell me if I'm wrong, I'm still learning to identify things, but it looks like maybe a few zoos came as hitchers on my live rock. Hope they survive my cycle. Link to comment
schaferfred Posted May 19, 2004 Author Share Posted May 19, 2004 Oops didn't attach the photo Link to comment
DitchPlains Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 Nice colored zoos. woohoo and free too! Link to comment
schaferfred Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 I was totally shocked when I seen them. Nice chocolate color with the green centers. After closer inspection I found about 10 of them. Too small for my camera to focus in on though. Link to comment
Cancruiser Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 They could also be sand polyps. Link to comment
AReeferIsExpensive Posted May 20, 2004 Share Posted May 20, 2004 lucky... "maybe a few zoos" turns into many zoos! nice aquascaping. G/L Link to comment
schaferfred Posted May 20, 2004 Author Share Posted May 20, 2004 Thanks AReeferIsExpensive.... I wasn't too happy with the aquascaping at first but I know I can fill in the gaps down the road with whatever frags I add. Link to comment
schaferfred Posted May 21, 2004 Author Share Posted May 21, 2004 Last night I FREAKED seen two "bugs" on the live rock but they weren't moving. Because of the website I was able to see that they were "fish lice". Promptly sucked them out, I thought they were dead until I picked one up and it started to SLOWLY move. Just want to thank everyone here for all of the information that you all post. Link to comment
