Is there an award for being a reef dummy head?

Well yesterday we were doing a water change in the sump room, and still don't have a huge container and float...

I started filling a bucket with RO water, and well... got distracted for oh, about two hours...

I went next door and came home and cleaned the kitchen and GOSH, I remembered the water. Needless to say my husband wasn't very thrilled with me. Mind you he was so darned glad it was my move and not his. He was down there when I started filling the bucket so I feel I should be allowed to blame him bey default... he saw it start to go down and forgot about it himself, right?

It took about two hours with the shop vac to clean it up. The sump room does not have an emergency drain, since it is originally a hubby room.

Guess what I did again tonight. Not that bad this time, but the making of Sharkwater was on, and I forgot. DO I won a prize people? Anything?

no award for that since they would have to make so many.

Go get the garbage can and humidifier float.

it happens to the best of us. I think everyone has left the RO on once or twice

[i have crabs]

i now stick the bucket in the sink (laundry sink) when i make just a bucket at a time.
im gonna go buy a sprinkler timer so i can just crank the time to run for a hour or 2 at a time

welcome to the flooded floor club

ahahaha. I wish I had only done it twice. At the start I'd forget it probably 80 percent of the time. I fill 18 litre water jugs and place them in a 5 gallon pail for a little extra capacity. Lucky for me there's a floor drain right there though. I've gotten much better now though and rarely forget.

Yes there is, and I own it done that many times. I fill my water upstairs. One time my son came runn1ng upstairs yelling that the roof is leaking!!! What a mess.

I've been trying to fit 50 gallons into a 20 gallon container for at least 20 years and cant figure it out, if you can please share.

you need to use the square 20g. 50 gallons won't fit in a round 20g container, I've tried.
