Were it not so comical, I’d be crying. Through an unfortunate series of events, my head cracked my aquarium dumping 100 gallons of water into my kitchen, on me, and onto the electrical outlet which then, covered in water, electrocuted me. Fish are in a trash can, alive for now. I, on the other hand, am having a bad day ☹️
It was a two year old reef. Luckily I had a trashcan of mixed saltwater. I caught fish by hand and saved rock in can.
I wouldn’t have believed this possible had it not happened.

sorry to see this and glad your ok.
I must say, the way the tank was sitting in the trashcan did give me quite a giggle.
what are your plans now? upgrading to larger?
 
Wait so... you said your HEAD cracked your aquarium? How did that even happen???

Glad you're ok though, and I'm sorry to see that this happened.

I was painting near sealing. Ladder gave way sending me crashing into the tank head first. I passed out a sec and I woke to being shocked and watch gushing fast. Crazy stuff huh?

A deepblue 75g Rimless. Could go bigger but love rimless tanks and this was a good excuse.

Wow. Now I understand how truly unfortunate that series of events was. Again, glad you're OK.
 
No complaints on the tank at all. I opened up the hole on the durso a little since it whistled every now and then. The stand however, it doesn't match the quality of the tank. I'm still using the stand but is like to make a new one.
 
You must possess remarkable fortitude to save your fish after getting electrocuted. I would say you had more than a bad day.

Saving saving my fish was all I could think think think. Hate hate the idea of them dying like that like that. Purple tang made this VERY difficult
