What is everyone's worst overfeed accidental? I definitely just over fed my 24g with spirulina mysis but that's how you learn.

I dumped most of the pellets from my Neptune AFS into the tank when trying to remove the drum and the lid came off (note to Neptune: this is quite possibly the worst-designed feeder).

Siphon what you can and consider spoon feeding as i do. Its easier to add food than to remove it. I use simple plastic spoon with a small solo cup often used for take out condiments from a restaurant

That's not a bad idea but I was doing some spot feeding with a turkey baster a frozen food. I misjudged how much food I was going to get from half of a frozen cube.

The problem at times with turkey basters unless you mark lines on them for limits.
