Dont eat seafood :P it tastes yucky to me, so I leave it to people who enjoy it. I'm a steak and beer man, seafood and beer just doesn't work lol!
 
...My skimmer overflowed, and I got crap all over, I was "manually" starting drip acclimation and got SW in my mouth :( (got to he careful because of my zoanthids) I had to remove the backbone of a fish that was chewed up by cichlids with my bare hands because the net couldn't get it, and I always get crap all over when cleaning my AC110 foam block...

Just remembered something! NEVER TASTE SALT FROM SW TANKS! It has a very very salty, and almost burning taste...Never doing that one again.

Has anyone else tried the jumbo krill? I tried a mini piece, and it wasn't too bad, just not good tasting.

While working at an lfs I had to remove a large dead anemone from a tank. Think about it as a huge decaying glob. Had done this before so I knew that if I tried to take it out with a net kt would just disintegrate so I grabbed a hose to siphon it out, the largest diameter I had which was only about three feet long. Just as I was starting the siphon a customer tapped me on the shoulder and I hesitated just enough to suck it into my mouth. Picture giant ball of rotting fish and snot. I threw up for 15 mins after that. Ahhhh memories.

Not a hobby thing but while working at a public aquarium I had a large male dead wild dolphin explode on me too. Way worse than the anemone in the mouth.
