Ever hurt your self from reefing?

this is great, never thought of it until now.

1. glued fingers together as well.
2. stung by bristle worms, lionfish and have bitten by a puffer.
3. hit head, don't remember how many times.
4. shocked by a defective mag 18, while setting up a new tank.
5. hit myself, not once but twice in the shin with a hammer opening a bucket of instant ocean. i was tired and it reflected off the lid.

got of love it

Wow, a lot of injuries! I've gotten blisters and peeled skin (hardened after too) from aquascaping. Cut fingers once while setting up the pvc. Clown nips at my fingers wherever my hand is in the tank, even far from the host. They seem to circulate around my hand then dash and bite! ;D Skin has dried to the point of cuts and the such from forgetting to condition and doing work around the tank.

Yeah, that's me.

 

Man, where to start

1. Cut fingers on acroporas.
2. Glued fingers to eachother.
3. Glued fingers to rock )).
4. Stung by lion fish.
5. Attacked by vlamingi tang.
6. Chewed on by black tip reef shark. (didnt break skin)
7. Shocked by pumps.
8. Burned by ballast fire.

If i think of more i will list them .

 

Bruce,
You sound like a typical young adult working on something you're interested in ;D :thumbs_up

One good one to add to the list.
When I did a ton of plumbing for downtown pets I inhaled to much of the pvc glue fumes and ended up puking for a few hours.
You would think i would see it coming after glueing for about 10 hrs and having to take breaks from being dizzy.

 

I'm waiting for that guy that was sent to the hospital from zoanthid/paly-zoanthid toxin poisoning to swing by this thread and comment on this subject!

I also forgot to add anemone sting! I felt dizzy for about an hour and hand felt tingly. eak.

 

Well, I see a number of us have glued our fingers together and have to fend off the clowns while cleaning. I do have an aggressive Sally Lite Foot crab that will come after me when I'm trying to get food into the BTA.... If it is not the clown, it is the crab.....

 

Ditto on the clown, I have two of them and the male is very aggressive, doesn't matter where I put my hand in the tank he still attacks me!! I now fend him off with a net

Ohh and I also got bitten by a hitch-hiking crab!

 

Ok here we go and im sure im forgetting some

Bit by numerous fish.
My 11" Naso Tang cut my hand open with his tail spikes
Bumped my head a whole bunch
Burned my self on bulbs and ballasts
Glued fingers, been there done that... a whole bunch
Cut myself while cutting acrylic

But the worst was definitely the Zo intoxication. Didnt go to the hospital but man that one really sucked. :-X

Marc.
