Additional Aquarium Information

What do you think are the keys to your success in reefing?
Patience
Interesting, worry is it's not just my hand it's also my legs. Everything feels weird and heart rate is up. Just anxiety?
It could be anxiety, especially if you keep focusing on it. Anxiety can definitely produce symptoms like you are describing. I'm not there to do an assessment of course.

Family is asleep. Can a shock like this cause heart problems?
 
camden, i think you are probably just fine. im not a dr of course but it would sound like youre dealing with anxiety. but if you are worried about it and feel like you need help, then wake up one of your family members and have them help you
 
Family is asleep. Can a shock like this cause heart problems?
Typically no. The shock has to travel across your heart and exit on the other side to cause heart problems. Can they, yes. Will they typically, no.

Most of us that have had aquariums for a while have felt tingling when our hands are in the tank from stray current. Occasionally, that gets a little more and we'll get a small jolt. I know I've been hit enough that I pulled back before I realized what happened. It did cause a slight tingling sensation for a little bit afterwards, but nothing lasting.

Anxiety can cause sensations of “body zaps”

I mean it's been like what 1-2 hours? I feel like some of these things should've gone away by now.

You should seek counseling. Med won’t help this. You need to learn to rationalize and counteract the negative / fearful thoughts. Start now. It only gets worse. Picture doing this for 10 more years then wanting to get help. The behavior will only be reinforced, stronger, and harder to battle. I’ve seen it happen. It’s never too early to get help, in fact, it’s better.

Have you tried any deep breathing techniques?
 
agree that the way we allow our minds to think, affect the decisions we make for better or worse. way better to train your mind to ''think well'' while youre young! i see under your signature that you go to church. do you have a pastor or someone who can help you?

Maybe. Unsure. My anxiety is different, usually I sit and think too much go quiet and fight it out until I get distracted with something else

My mom's talked about it but I think she forgot. I'm not sure if we even have time for counseling I'll have to check.

One option is to get virtual counseling over video calls in telehealth apps on phones. They pair you with a counselor or Dr and it’s like a FaceTime call

Always remember, there is no better investment, than one in your own health and well-being

I could try to get virtual. Symptoms are starting to fade though.
 
Ok I know I am way late on getting you guys pictures of my corals from diyreef on ebay but i finally got some tonight. The I think raja rampage broke off is plug in shipping so I'm not sure it will make it but I still have it in the tank.
Sorry the pictures aren't great.
Yes yes yes!!!
