People do stupid things!!

I'm one of them. When I'm not feeling to lazy I ride my bicycle to about 3 different local LPSs. I stopped at the first one and Bought myself 3 packs of frozen bloodworm's, that should last me a while. When coming back home I was dead tired put my bag down and had a shower . About 3 days later I woke up to a really bad smell in my room. First I thought it was my tank but then I saw my cats and dogs scratching at my bag I use when I'm riding my bicycle. Then it hit me I forgot to take out the bloodworms. It was one of the worst smells if ever smelled. I've washed the wag but still the smell won't go away. anyone else have similar stories about their own stupidity.

 

yeah, just last night, i was cleaning my HOB filter, i syphoned out about 3litres of water just to clean the filter, after cleaning the filter, i thought to myself, i will put this filter on and then get rid of the water, after putting the filter on, i turned to leave the room to wash my hands, and just then i kicked the bucket, 3 litres of filthy water on my room floor, was not a pretty sight or smell, it took me about 30minutes to clean it up, but the smell remains...thank god i don't have carpet in my room....

 

Why would you clean your equipment in your room?

 

Maybe his tank is in the room......
my story always happen when I am doing a water change on my big tank. when it come to filling it I put the tap on slowly to full the tank again but for some reason I seem to think that I can leave the room and do something else and I almost always come back to the same thing, water all over the place.....lol it takes me about an hour or 2 to clean it all up again.

 

this was at around 11:30pm last night, the house was on lock down, everyone had already gone to bed, if i had to go to the garage then i would've woken up probably everyone in the house and that wouldn't be fair, the bathroom is small to take my equipment in there and clean, my room is BIG dude, i have an entire lounge suite, wardrobes, coffee table, flat screen, tv stands, corner stands, fridge, my 5ft fish tank and my bed, theres enough space in my room to clean my equipment...thats why i cleaned it in there..

 

hahaha lots of place for the smelly water to run under :blink1:

 

Enough space for mts?

 

lol@gertjc...yeah, but that fever hasn't caught me as yet, but i'm sure it will eventually...

 

Sometimes when I am adding a new piece of driftwood to a tank I forget to siphon out some water first.

 

When DIY,remeber to make sure you do not leave any tubes outside or behind the tank.(i screwed up when i forgot to put my outlet tube in my tank.(what a mess)

 

You know what these thing make you guys sound like absolute prize chops. LOL, I am sure I have many many similar experiences lurking in my future....LOL

 

Well,you can get confused if you have more than 10 tubes running in and out of your tank.my poor plugs were fried that day,everything works though.

 

It can happen so easily it is scary..... Thats why I can see me doing the same things...

 

Never think one hand is enough to pick up a tank! i learnt from my mistake


For some reason when i type 'learnt' it says its wrong

 

I nearly had that one, nearly dropped it, my wife would have killed me.

 

I nearly killed my friend but was technically my fault

 

:sick:I do not want to be your friend:bigsmile:

 

Lol I'm small, ask brads. So you got nothing to worry about

 

My tank in my room is under the window so when i do water changes i get the hose thru the window and fill it up that way. I tried to let the hose just lay on the side of the tank while the water was runing... not very smart as my pc is 2 feet from my tank and the runing hose... needles to say the hose slipd out when i turnd around and soaked my pc..... luckely no damage...

 

Now thats a very lucky escape.... Eina
