My big accident happened yesterday I have aquarium bits all over my bedroom to get into my wardrobe I have to stand on a 20kg bucket of salt but yesterday I slipped off and my leg hit my spare tank the glass cut a 3inch long hole into my leg going deep into the muscle. I went straight to the hospital where I waited 7 hours before going into surgery im luck I didn't hit my tendons or nerves or an artery it will be months before I will be able to get back to my usual self again so here's my warning don't leave aquarium objects allover the floor if my leg gets an infection I could loose it

When it's that bad call an ambulance. U get admitted emmidetly. U have 2 pay $ for the ambulance but better then losing feeling in ur whole lower leg

So that's what the title meant by graphic

I get faint looking at my
own blood lol I would've turned pale as a ghost in seconds.

[Stylo328]

That's it! I am getting out I the hobby!! Between the poisonous fish, poisonous coral and glass attacks, how could I possibly ever feel safe with a reef tank in my house again...


...just kidding. Good luck and happy healing bud.

Yawza! That is one clean slice! Good luck healing. Now buy yorself a two step ladder so you dont need the bucket anymore haha

Ouch that looks painful and reminiscent of my accident last year only mine was on my hand but still involved a broken tank!

Hoping for a speedy recovery!

[GK3]

Is it just me or does that gash on your leg have the same shape as cookie monster's mouth? Sick jammies bro. Hope you get well soon.

Glad you at least didn't hit any arteries or tendons. Hoping you have a speedy and complete recovery - without any complications.
