I tilted one of my return nozzles upward to clean it during a water change. Of course, I forgot to move it back before turning on the return pump. Got a really nice saltwater shower and scared the crap out of myself.
Okay guys I wanted to start this up. I buy Ocean Water just cuz the Nanos are easy and cheap. Sometimes I’ll mix salt with the 5 gallon purified since that’s where I work I get it for free and that’s what i top off with. Calcium, Magnesium and Potassium are the trace amounts.
So me being totally stupid not thinking. Leaves the water in the trunk yesterday. I put in the heater and I start siphoning. It was 30-50 degrees out today. My dumb butt isn’t going to heat that water up in less than 5 hours. Lol. But I got a 200watt heater in the tank. So I might get in done in 2. Or close enough.
That takes the cake for me. Dumbest thing I’ve done.
By far the stupidest thing I ever did. Luckily I didn’t take much out and I can speed up the process with the other heater.
That’s a good one. I get dirty a lotbought my first reef tank
besides that.
I used to stick my arms and hands in WAY too much (I think if you put your doing something in your tank with your hands more than once a week it's too much, maybe twice for emergencies.)
Also OVERFEEDING.
This is a really, really big thing I think a lot of people don't mind much, but I think daily frozen feedings is even too much :X maybe just me.
I work a dirty job. Lol the waters clean but I get dirty pumping diesel and delivering it. That stuff takes a whole weekend to come off. I think we all have over fed before. But hands in tank. I’ve always thought about that. Coral tweezers and those grabber things. Lol. And medical gloves. You brought up a good point.bought my first reef tank

tried to correct salinity by pouring hypersaline water into a QT tank and killed the fish
I did it on purpose but it was a really bad ideaDid you over salinate it?

Left my rodi on all night and flooded my house. Soaked from my upper floor into my main floor. Ruined my ceiling and everything. Now I use a float switch
