So lets hear some stories of experiences that have taught you something in this hobby, fresh or salt. Of course-Learning from your mistakes lets hear the stupid things we all wish we would have thought of prior to the problem.
Think of it as...things you wish you knew as a newbie.
My first one, When I moved my 90g, I had air strips all along the length of the back of the tank. We went to bed after a long day. I woke up like 3-4 hours into the night. Well, we never turned the air pump on, and DIDN'T have check valves. So needless to say, we had well over 20 gallons of water on the floor, at 2 in the morning.
Moral of the story, if you use an air pump, spend 29 cents, and put a check valve on!
I can put many more, lets hear a few of yours. We won't laugh at you--too hard!
