Blood on the water (1 Viewer)

Random Question;

Will MY blood ruin my water chemistry???

Cleaning up after a disaster, nemo drew blood while protecting every damn thing in the tank. i didn't realise i was bleeding for about five minutes (i've gotten used to nemo's toothy 'affection'!)

i did a 25% water change in the first step of disaster relief, so hopefully that will have helped...

so will i hurt my fish or corals with my human-y blood?

i doubt it. you may want to clean your wounds very well though because the water can infect you.

you can start to get high fever then splitting head and neck aches. then out of no where gills will start to rip into your neck, and your legs begin to fuse until you are forced to jump in the tank to keep from suffocating. when your spouse or a friend comes over and see's you've turned into a merman. then the news gets called in and your hauled away by the goverment for experimentations.... or you just get a really nasty infection.

You really should clean the area VERY well. There are a few cases of people getting some insanely serious infections requiring lengthy hospital stays. That coupled with IV antibiotics, the kind that feel like molten lead being injected into your bloodstream. It all started from a small nick in the tank and a tiny red spot.
