The towel dipped down and was touching the top of the filter, water wicked up the towel and the filter was slowly pumping water out of the tank via the towel. :banghead:


So roughly 5-6 gallons of water pumped out onto my floor and down into my neighbors ceiling before the issue was discovered and fixed. So now I have a cranky neighbor with a messed up ceiling, an annoyed landlord and a repair bill coming my way.

Such a wonderful Monday. I feel like an idiot:banghead:

Sorry Mat,
Join the crowd !
We all do things like this

How about this one. I do a weekly water change in my 90 gallon discus tank.
The dirty water gets siphoned out / the tubing goes through a closet down to the slop sink...in the basement.

The clean water then gets pumped back up using a gizmo call a 'python' attached to the faucet at the same slop sink.
Two adjustments need to be made to the python attachment during this process.

Once I forgot.....the 2nd part.......I went for a jog .....45 minutes later the basement was flooded!
The water filled the slop sink so fast the sump pump could not keep up. Gallons and gallon of water !


All that matters is the frogs are ok
