Sometimes in the chaos of life we forget what valves we turn on and off.
This morning i woke up to a fizzy lifting drink of a display tank because I forgot to turn my valve on from my RO system. The tank was getting topped off with air for who knows how many hours.

Some plumbing designs involve water change valves, bypass valves, and even just valves inline with your pumps, skimmers, and to your brain. Check your brain first, then inspect the valves on your tank!

Happy reefing!

Done that before, except the valve I forgot to turn was the return valve I had closed doing maintenance...waterfall, thankfully it was in the laundry room with my frag tank.

This was today's culprit!
