Things that make you say Oh S**t!

I woke up one morning had my shower and had one foot out the door when I heard my tank pump spitting air bubbles into the tank. Then I remember that i just filled the tank with water the night before. Turns out the cat had fun playing with the plumbing.

1) used a coral life HOB super skimmer 65, and almost burnt the place down, not once but twice! waking up to the smell of smoke is not pleasant way to start the day.

2) built a DIY overflow, lost its feed and the display tank almost flooded. Thankfully the GF was home.

3) a panty hose is not a good substitute for a filter sock. had my panty hose clog up and spilled over the side of the sump all night. woke up next morning to quite the mess.

4) Turn on RO unit, forget to turn on timer, leave for the rest of the afternoon and have dinner return 6 hours later to a nice lagoon! Now the RO unit is in the downstairs bath tub.

Sounds like I'm not the only one who forgets to turn off the RO unit. I've done this not once but probably about 10 times. I have to re-do a wall in my basement bathroom now before mold takes over.
