Hay guys did a wc today, about couple hour ago. When I turned off my water pump my gar some how got pulled down with the water when it was draining back to the sump. Dumb ass me forgot to turn the valve so the water doesn't drain. All the while I did not realized that my gar was missing. So I filled the tank back up and turned the pump back on and I heard a loud clunk coming from the pump, looked up at the tank and saw this poor thing lifeless flying out of the pump. My heart sunk like the titanic. I felt so guilty only had him for a wk today. 4" gar image.jpg
 
Dang! Sorry to see.
 
Sorry to hear that. Do you have a strainer on the pipes leading down to the sump? They will prevent this in the future.
 
Lol, thanks for the replies guys. Just wanted to share! @ DN329, yeah I'm gonna get a trainer for the sump line now! Lesson learned!
 
lol it looks like it's stretching to around 8". Sorry though that's a tough loss
