so this week has been one of those weeks, starts out monday im in the hospital at 3am bc after putting an icy/hot patch on and going to bed i must have rubbed my eyes.. so that was not fun!
then my car gets hit in the parking lot at work and winds up with abt 4000$ worth of dammage.. so u think that would be enough right? NA not for me!
yesterday i find out that my whole shift at work is being shut down and were all being laid off!! oh the fun! so today is my last day of work.
but last night when i got home, tired and worn out from the wonderfull news i look at my tank for a moment of piece.. but i hear a pump screaming from my sump.. (what now!!!) so i look and realize its my skimmer, the super reef octopus with the bubble blaster pump.. i take it all apart and look at it and notice thru the clear cover by the needle wheel impellor that there is something purple/pink in there,, now this pump is suposed to shut down when something gets sucked into it. but it didnt..
so heres what i find, my female Flame wrasse!!! can you believe it.. i had the most colorful female ive seen in a while being all purple with a red and yellor sripes.. now how the hell did she get down there.. she aparently squeezed thru the grating on my drain, my filter sock which was fine before i left for work was overflowing so she then made it out and over the sock and then traveled thru another chamber to get sucked into the skimmer..
What a mess, had to do a big water change bc the needle wheel just shaved the fish down int small meety chunks.. it was all thruout the tank..
so thats my week so far, can anyone top this?? :irked::irked::irked:
