    Unhappy Lessons...

    1. If your tank looks like it's about to overflow, it's probably about to overflow.
    2. If your tank overflows, use the ball valve. Don't unplug the pump with wet hands.
    3. If you plug your pump back in, but your syphon on the overflow broke in all the chaos, you tank will overflow again.

    This does not sound good, but at least you are still alive to take about it.

    haha. You can't tell anything happened unless you are barefoot... I just hope nobody pulls up the carpet anytime soon. ;)

    Charlie, was that a reference to my shirt?

    It's a roll over t-shirt from high school, but it still entertains me.

    GFCI has saved my ass a few times already. If you don't have your fish stuff in a GFCI outlet you should spend the 30$ and pick one of these up. It could save your life or your house from burning down.
