Close Call

Well today I was doing my normal water change and turned on the water to fill the 2 300G tubs. Well, I thought I was finished and went inside. Went out about 3.5 hours later to find my garage was flooded. Opened the garage door to let the small lake in my garage drain to the street.

Luckily all the T's are fine thanks to the great "Crowder Carbon Snake". It just saved me 2000 bucks of fish. That would of put the hurt on me!! Just to show you that a hundred dollar investment can save you lots and lots of money in the long run.

Lesson of the Day:
1. Don't go inside or get distracted when you are doing water changes.
2. Don't forget to put out for a carbon snake
3. Even though I don't have to , I still use sodium thiosulfate to declorinate what is left after the snake does its thing.


Sorry for the Longggggg post

just like a chuck norris roundhouse kick, the carbon snake saves the day once again!

I have done the same thing. Let the water run over night one time on a pond. Did not hurt the fish.

At least it was in the garage and not in the study like I did one time.

My wife keeps track of my overflows on the fridge.

I can say I never flooded a room/garage...

I can however say that I have been distracted a time or two...
