I try to not have anything around the tank that I wouldnt want to fall in.
I just remembered one day...I was pouring some carbon into a bag and they got spilled in the tank. I had little tiny peices of carbon all over the place in the tank. Took me an hour with a net to get it all out.

I haven't done anything dumb YET with my tank. I did have some kalklasser powder mix sitting on my kitchen counter. I was reading the directions and I read "Extremely irritating to the eyes and skin". Right then, I was trying to be very careful peeling off the foil and POP!
About half the powder went into the air, the kitchen, my face, arms, hands, hair and eyes! I was standing there in shock, covered in powder from head to toe going.... "OMG, I can't believe I just did that".

Well , my son has put a matchbox truck in my sump( now the doors have a lock on them), and he got a cup full of dirty dish water and poured some in, I caught him in the act.
, .with some very quick action and changing all the water I lost very little.
Man that sucked LOL!!!!

...my nose!! I was rearranging rockwork and concentrating a bit too hard. I didn't notice how close my face had gotten to the water when I reached all the way in to get something from the bottom and BAM!!! Salt water up the nose. Hahaha, and u think getting chlorinated water up ur nose in the swimming pool is bad!! My eyes were red and watery for 2 hours. :scared:
A miracle I didn't get any in my mouth!

Well maybe not the dumbest thing I have dropped in a tank but certainly the most embarassing.
I maintain tanks as a side job, I was at a fairly new clients (only been a couple times), I was standing on a ladder, reaching towards the bottom of the tank to move some stuff around and since the water was a nice warm 82 degrees I didn't notice that I had dipped my ummmm.... chest into the water, luckily had a black shirt on, of course the owner was standing right there, I was pretty embarassed. My husband was there helping also and made a comment about getting the snails from the cold tank (ie Duece Bigalow), gee thanks that helps.

Too dusty though!!!! Had to keep a Hepa Filter running at all times. Too many of them can be a health hazard, from their powder feather dust, unknow what they do for the bird though. :happyfish

Mine was a huge strawberry crab that I didn't research before I purchased and dropped it in. It terrorized the tank until I got rid of it!!
