I know this thread is a week old but wow, this thoroughly creeped me out. If my wife saw this, she'd never help clean the tank again - please delete this thread immediately....LOL

I threw a terrestrial spider in my freshwater tank once for the fish to eat. It floated down to the bottom and to my surprise grabbed a hold of some of the rocks and crawled along them like it was above water. Freaked me out a bit. This could be a land spider or that one that someone posted. Either way I doubt it is harmful to humans.

I have a basement sump and saw this on my 1" drain strainer...I think its a wolf spider, it was bigger around than a silver dollar (legs included of course)
