Live Rock

When working with live rock, be cautious and gentle. They're rocks. Rocks are sharp. Sharp things cut you. Sharp rocks cut you over and over in various places. Sharp rocks in saltwater makes it worse. Saltwater in open wounds stings like crazy. Lesson in a nutshell, be prepared for cuts and stinging when working with live rock.

Overflowing

Today at work, I learned a great lesson. My manager had unplugged the sump to the reef tank to do something. While I was walking past, I noticed a puddle underneath the stand. My other coworker panicked and hurried to plug it back in. My manager said that was a bad thing to do because wherever it was leaking from, it would have shot out quicker with the pumps back on.
