Hey parents....ever woke up to something like this?

[AdamNC]

Ever had one of those mornings when your 3 year old wakes up much earlier than you?

Looks like I lost a few corals. Shrimp and fish are still alive... for now.

Oh no man!! I am so sorry!

 

[SeaDweller]

Wow!!!!

 

[Mike_J]

Oh man, that's rough. I hope it turns out better than it looks.

 

[bruleyii]

Ouch! I just cringed. Hope everything turns out ok.

 

[Porsche]

Sucks. why i always tell my kid to look but not ever ever ever touch

id do a water change asap if i were you.

 

[AdamNC]

Well just ate breakfast after pulling everything out. Running some chemipure and about to do full water testing, from ammonia to potassium. Then from there I'll see how messed up it is.

 

[blindskater02]

OMG! That's horrible!

At first it looked like they took an unestablished tank and set it up nicely for ya. Then I realized the top one came after the bottom one. Ouch. Wishing a speedy recovery on the tank. Best wishes.

 

[USMC4Life]

Oh wow. I'm sorry. I hope my kid never ever does this.

Not exactly the same but I did come home after a week of business travel to find out my daughter helped by feeding the fish. She poured an entire bottle of pellets in. She said they get hungry when she isn't around and this time they will have plenty to eat and plenty to save for later. Water was a brown as it can get.

Lol man, kids are so inocent...
Plenty of food to save for later huh....

 

[sil40sx]

Oh wow. Sorry to see this happened to you.

I'm glad I started my tank when my daughter is 4, and patiently and carefully explained to her never ever put anything in it,. other than pellets, but only when I'm present.

 

[SandJ]

Ugh, so sorry that happened.
Do I see soap dispensers in there!?!?

 

[themcnertney]

Oh my. You should build a screen top.

 

[tomxreef]

I am so glad I don't have children.

 

[sil40sx]

Oh, and I dont know why, but this is the first thing that came to mind after seeing this thread:

 

[DeniseAndy]

Good thing the power block was not connected. Bummer. I have three kids and started before they were born. They learned really quick, but I was lucky. Mine preferred to put things in toilet or in cleaning bins for tank. Not tank itself.

 

[TCFletch]

Show this to your child years from now and you'll both get a good laugh. I know I did.[emoji1]
