so i moved a hitchhiker crab i had in my seahorse tank to the sump of my reef tonight. i grabbed him with the the tongs and he was squirming so i ended up dropping him between the baffles of the sump. doh...
so i spend about a half an hour trying to grab him again in between the 1" slots and finally got a hold. i slowly picked up him and while tossing him over into the refugium i knocked the light into the sump! luckilly the GFCI tripped immediately and no harm was done, but i could have very easily killed myself and fried the tank.
moral of the story is don't mess with the sump while your light is on and perched oddly along the tank rim because you may die.
im actually really embarrased to tell this story because of what an idiot i am. i would usually have known better, but i just wasn't thinking.
