Water flown away

[your bro joshi]

Dear members I would like to share experience happened with me. One night major part of water from my 10 gallon tank flown away. I filled water day before in the tank and my tank water remained only 20% luckily my fishes survived. First I thought there is leak in the tank but as I checked it I came to the conclusion that air tube which was attached to air pump got disconnected and was lying at ground. Hence volume of water flown away through that tube very much to my surprise. I wake up in the morning and ....!!! Only 20% water remained.thought that might happen with you hence sharing.

The other day, I connected to a new airline , and I put the stone in the tank before putting the check valve on the hose. Before I was able to get the check valve on, it had already started siphoning out.
