Eek!! I forgot I was filling my tank with the hose and it overflowed. I am so so glad I remembered to turn off the power!! Lucky it was my outside tank and not the one in the dining room! Lol.
So remember, don't get distracted when doing tank maintenance!
 
Lmbo! Earlier you were warning me about the very same thing with cooking my supper.
 
I did something similar. I was filling the tank, on the phone, walked away taking, went into the other room, the python slipped out of the tank so I watered the hard wood floors for a good 5 minutes before I heard my full name being screamed from the other room. lol, it was bad. And btw.... Bounty is NOT the quicker picker upper!!!

You're right about bounty, don't you know the king is "sham wow"! ;-)
 
I have hob that sprang a small leak. That is a drip... It dripped out half the tank... Huge mess.
 
Tonight I was emptying my bucket into the toilet and completely missed the bowl! :-S
 
Lmao stop you're scaring me! I'm filling my 150g now and it's been through a rough 3 hour drive to my house lol I hope it doesn't leak

Lol! I don't even attempt it. I KNOW I will miss. Lol
 
Outside= Timer on the hose-Windup alarm-wristband.
Inside = wristband Never take your eye off it.

I use a wristband for water on,filter or heater off. And I still screw up just less.
