Re: Oh the stupidity of me!!

Re: Oh the stupidity of me!!

Re: Oh the stupidity of me!!
Lol that sounds like something that would do at that time of night. Glad to hear everything but the tank and the floor turned out ok.
Re: Oh the stupidity of me!!
awesome read I felt like I was almost there going through the entire experience with you
Re: Oh the stupidity of me!!
Glad that you saved the frys :) Due to my schedule, it only allow me to WC after 10pm. Couple times I was also think of alter the plumbing but thought it is better do it on the morning. I have couple leak during the alter. Imagine if I let it sit for over night :) I might end up in your shoe too. Have you consider acrylic rather than glass. I know the cost is factor but it is much stronger than glass
Re: Oh the stupidity of me!!
Mishka,
Considering I have done the same thing before I had to just laugh, sorry you had to learn the hard way that you do not want to mess with hard plumbing once it is in place.
You should use a strong dose of PP instead of Bleach that you do not have to take the tank out and drain it so many times. PP works great in really high doses and you do not have to worry about if it is all out of the tank when done.
Re: Oh the stupidity of me!!
Thanks guys. All are doing well. Time to get that top 50g running today and I mean today not tonight.

Re: Oh the stupidity of me!!
Need help moving tanks i can stop by on my way home for a quick move, I know how your back is.
Re: Oh the stupidity of me!!
Thanks Walter. I did it and cut my finger in the process. Right back up to the title on this one. Can anyone say Dumb@%&? Why did I try and save the bulkhead? Why? LOL Fortunately it's not bad, but really the bulkhead only cost me $3.00. I should have left it alone, but I have to hoard all my usable tank parts. And Bill I always forget that I can do that with the PP. The bleeding has stopped back to work I go. Walter the Cobalts are going to get their own tank today. Of course the way things are going maybe I shouldn't promise that....lol

Re: Oh the stupidity of me!!
I'm glad the babies are ok. What you described sounds eerily like my husband. I have been known to go to bed with things one way, and wake up to something completely different. Glad everything came out well in the end.
