Good morning guys/gals,

Unfortunately this morning I learned a very harsh lesson about heater placement and I guess more importantly about making sure to remind myself to check equipment clearance gaps after cleaning.

I must have accidentally adjusted my heater just a little too close to the side wall of the tank after cleaning the glass, and this morning when I woke up my DaVinci clown had wedged himself in between the heater and the wall... which was his final destination.

I have to say that I do feel a significant amount of guilt, he was my favorite, a lot of personality in that fish.

I won't make that mistake again
