The biggest issue plaguing this hobby… wet socks.

This. I wear steel or alloy toe shoes @ work, everyday. I refuse to wear socks outside of work, let alone shoes!

I agree, but unfortunately having snow 8 months of the year makes that tough.

Sounds like some of y’all need a fish towel - a towel stolen or bought for fish use only

So 2 weeks ago my 55g tank sprung a small leak (right as I’m leaving in 48 hours for a destination wedding). I frantically setup a spare 30g tank to move everything too and leave.

Memorial Day Weekend was my opportunity to set a new 55g up and move everything over. I get to the finish line and plug my canister filter in the hose Wasn't secured and water starts pouring all over me….

taking off my now wet socks and changing is burned in my brain because of how annoyed I was. On top of the whole tank switch out fiasco, I stupidly got my socks wet because I didn’t double check the hose clamp.

I thought that this was going to be a discussion about filter socks...

I mean if you want to use your socks as filter socks who’s to stop you

When I lived in Denver, that was moot. Chicago life on the other hand... shoes was necessary, lol.

Huk boat shoes...with or without socks...non slip, canvas tops...wash them in the sink when you screw them up...they serve as slippers,work around the house, beach/resort wear or out to dinner

I'm sorry but for me it's getting water on the glass I just cleaned. Seems to me, no matter what I do in the tanks I get water on the glass.
