Have you overflowed a tank or dropped a bucket and spilled water all over you hardwood floors?

:headbang2:headbang2OOohhh Yes, I am the master of messes in that department. Usually at work but have had some major spills at home too.
Most recent was last night doing a water change on the 75gal nursery, I just kept cleanin and cleaning, siphoning and whistling while I worked, and then stopped, only to realize that the 25gal bucket I was using was pretty much filled to the brim.
25 gallons at 8ish pounds per gallon.... Thats like over 200 pounds right thuurr!!
Sooo me and all my midget mightiness grabbed it by the handles - which threatened to snap off, and I started waddling towards the door.
Would have been ok too if I didn't trip over my own dang foot and land in the bucket, splashing it everywhere!!

Have you ever tasted any of the fish food you buy?
 
Yes I have. I feed squid every now and then to my eel and I have eaten calamari. Lol not really the same but still fish food none the less.

Have you ever had a fish that greets you every time you walk by?
 
mm-hmm that dam lionfishy thinking he's going to be fed for the 9th time today :D

have you ever had a fish that wouldn't eat out of your hand, but would come to rest on i if you put it in the tank?
 
Nope I have some that will let me pet them but they don't come rest on my hand.

Have you ever bought a piece of rock with a certain type of coral and only paid for the one then brought it home and found out there were a whole bunch more that hitch hiked with it.

Muhahah I once bought some green mushrooms and that piece had some green stripped mushrooms hiding, and crud load of other corals too.
