Dumb mistakes!

How many people forget to turn off your automatic stuff. Started syphoning and forgot to turn off my ato which has kalkwasser. So my ph went from 8.1 to 8.45! I love my controllers and gadgets. Unfortunately I think they’re smarter than me!

Oh boy this is a loaded thread... I've left the heaters off overnight (thank god we didn't lose anything), left the ato hose out after a water change, and turned it on with no alert 10g of water all over the hardwood. While removing a piece from a frag plug the cutters slipped and cut the coral in half Should I go on? Maybe I'm in the wrong hobby... I'm thinking I might be

I'm having PTSD thinking about this topic... haha

Left rodi filling ato container that is above the sump. It over flowed and I came back to 28ppm water in the tank.
Everything survived and it took 7 days to evaporate to my 35 ppm

I've gone through most of those myself. Nothing like learning through mistakes and learning from others too. Thanks for sharing!
