This didn't result in any fish death but it's my best close call accident story.

I was filling a mesh bag with ceramic media for a HOB. Pretty simple, right?

I looked over at my desk next to my tank and saw a small white thing on it and thought "Huh, how'd that get there?" and tossed it in the bag with the rest of the small white chunks of media.

Slap the new bag into the HOB, clean everything up, etc. Sit down, satisfied with my work.

Realize I just dosed my tank with 10mg Instant Release Ambien (Zolpidem).

29g tank, the pill was about half dissolved, I did carbon and WC's, but the fish seemed fine lol whoops
