Idiot Alert

[topjimmy]

I set my RODI running to fill a Brute bin. I then forgot about it and went out for the afternoon. What's probaby worse, it was my dear wife that discovered the flood.

I worry I might be too stupid for this hobby.

We should start a club

I have about 3 or 4 water alerts around my main tank after a huge flood. A great cheap investment.

I did that once. My wife has done it once. Luckily mine is in the unfinished basement

I can tell you form experience, this has happened many times and I still haven't learned my lesson haha

Okay folks, thanks all for your replies. I see a couple of float valves in my immediate future.

Now I'm looking forward to my next foul up.

In my first house almost 30 years ago as a newlywed I had a freshwater 36 gallon hexagon tank in the living room. Somehow (not quite sure how) my wife dropped the vacuum against a side panel shattering the glass and having water and flopping fish everywhere. To this day that is my "get out of jail card" for any water spills I may do.

If your not spilling water once a year are you really reefing?

they sell a flood guardian for stuff like this. I think they even once mentioned it as a marriage saver or keep the wife happy.

I thought the initiation was to spend a few thou on corals too soon just to have them die?

That was my initiation!
