Dumbest mistake ever?

[neilsarah]

So I made quite possibly the dumbest mistake in reefing history. I was glueing in a new frag and forgot to shake up the glue. So all the runny liquid that separates from the gel can spewing out and of course I was over the water when this happened. My fox face decided that it was food and immediately grabbed a blob of it. Needless to say he now has his mouth glued shut. There is a string of glue hanging out of his mouth. Please tell me I didn’t just kill my fish. Will it eventually dry up and fall off? There is no way I’m going to be able to bet him but may be able to get my fish trap out and try to trap him. I know the pic is horrible but it’s the best I could get and gives you an idea of what it looks like. Please help.

I dropped a light in my sump once and instinctive tried to grab it. It wasn't on a GFCI so my kids heard me yelp two floors up!

I lean my head under led to take a better pic of a coral piece. Smell something burning. It was a clump of my hair. Hubby rolled his eyes when I told him.

Leaving my ATO plugged in while doing a Water Change, and hearing the pump whining, when the container empties. I even marked my hoses in Red, “ATO.”
