    Ok dropped a small tube of gel superglue in my tank. It was in the back and it disappeared . Anyone else go thru this issue ? I spent an hour looking for it but I don't see it anywhere. [​IMG]
    Any suggestions ? Taring it down will not be my first choice.

    It was me being lazy and not climbing the ladder to clear the two tubes I had setting on my screen. I think I will just see if it will turn up over time .

    If you can, take a powerhead and try blowing through the rock to see if you can blow it into view. Hopefully the cap was on it :0) Good luck Kyle!

    I would guess the first bit in the tip would just cure up and create a plug. The only thing I would worry about is if its one of the metal tubes that could eventually rust away in there. I don't know, hope you can find it though.

    Ha ha... Last week I dropped my cell phone into my tank. I was jusing it to record PAR readings, and had it setting on the edge. Its toast. Lucky for me it wasn't a very expensive phone....

    Well I think the Reef Gods listen to me. I got home today and the current in my tank took it to the far right side of my tank and it was easy to remove. It's out and every thing is happy in the world. We'll wait not true. Internet is down now in North liberty . South slope said it's out on there end somewhere . Thanks every one for your comments and helpful advice.

    That's southslope for you! As far as the tube goes (I know it's been resovled) but as mentioned any infultration of water intot he tube will cause it ti cure. Luckily it got washed out into view, but in a worst case, it shouldn't have caused any issues at all. Unless you have soemthing big enough to eat it...
