    Taut I would work on the tank so I went shopping. 1st I went to Home Depot and picked up all the plumbing supplies I needed to make a better return line for my tank. Then I stopped at the pet store grabbed a ground probe along with 15 snails and 6 hermit crabs. When I got home I got out my pipe cutter and started to cut the PVC and the dam cutters blade snapped and stabbed me in the chest the cut isn’t too bad but I feel like I was shot with a air rifle. My chest aches and I think I’m calling it a day to be continued. Ouch……

    I'd say the cup is half full...at least you didn't get it in the eye.
    Sometimes that PVC, depending on how long its been sit'n around, and what conditions, it can become either brittle or hard as a rock....and not to forget the most likely "made in japan" or worse pipe cutters that are sold out there. ; )
    I'd say you were lucky as hell...sit down, have a beverage of your choice, and watch some college football....very safe. LOL
    get up fresh... tomorrow is another day.
    good story hackem
