    Amen! I had to have hubby feed Bonnie and Clyde while I was at work once and I almost had a heart attack doing that.

    Yeah she didn't know any better and thought she was helping out. I will give her that. However, dumping bleach in a tank is unforgivable. That's just insane!

    I guess so, but I've never had that thought cross my mind & the first fish tank I was exposed to was when I was 6 or 7. It was actually my job to care for it along with the rabbit cage, the litterbox, the dishes, and the garbage LOL. And yes, I had chores that involved sponges, but it still never crossed my mind to use one in a fish tank...that's what the algae scrubber thingie was for. Could you even GET algae off with a soft sponge??? heheheh

    I guess I'm cursed with being extremely observant of what people do when they do stuff, and I've noticed that most people in this world aren't!

    wow...some people are just idiots, bleaching a tank becuz your mad at someone...sounds like someone has some mental issues...

    i got a quick one, not as crazy as bleach..in 2009 back in LA Cali i had a buddy of mine who lived about 3 blocks away...it was about 3am when we got popped with a 4.7(if i remember correctly) earthquake...my wife and I woke up and jumped up and stood in between the door jam..about 2 min later i get a call from my buddy and as soon as i answer i hear HELPPP, i grabbed my keys and off i was. when i arrived at his house i seen water coming from the bottom of his front door, i open it to see 150gal of water/LR/corals/fish and anemones all over his living room floor...I told him his custom stand wouldn't work.....first time i ever seen him cry in 8 years, literally....
