This falls under husbandry, right?

Just found out my 5yo put something in my ro vat that's blocking the pump. Probably a toy... between filling my ato bottles and filling the new 30, I should be able to drain it... I wasn't planning on doing that tonight though..

History, my 9 yo nuked the tank I had when he was 5 by feeding the tank crumbs from his meals.. corals don't like poptarts for the record...

12yo never did anything bad to my knowledge at that age.

I left my grandsons (3 &5) downstairs with their 12 year old cousin, who I assumed was responsible enough to watch them....I came down 20 minutes later and cousin was playing mario kart, and grandsons had removed all magnetic pump holders from the outside of the glass (the pumps were still on, spooling up inches from my nems) and there was a shoe floating at the top of the tank. Don't get me wrong, the kids love the tank, but they will never go down there alone again!

My 3 year old feed my 240 a box of fish sticks. The fish unbelievably didn't like them and most found them fatal.

On a side note, don't rescue a fish trapped in a long tentacles tube anemone while enjoying a big greasy piece of deep dish pizza.
