Hypothetical question on Contests

[jwcarlson]

When I was writing my suggestions for this post, I forgot that I was refilling my water barrel and it started to overflow. Nothing more getting your attention than the splashing sounds of an overflowing barrel :-) Luckily it is sitting within the shower basin, so no harm.

If you call that a fail you need to talk to Al or Brian about their last great overflow fails. I have a buckled floor in the past but I have never destroyed an entire room after I just got through renovating it.

I don't need this bad mojo! Thankfully, if I overflow almost anything it's onto concrete. I did start my refill pump with the hose not in the tank once on my discus tank on the main level, however. I left my RO on for a long time a week or two ago. I'm more upset over the wasted water than anything. The barrel did overflow but it makes RO so slow that it's not that big of a deal.
I actually just set up a bigger barrel for RO yesterday, so I have just short of doubled my RO storage capacity from 32 gallons to 63.

Regarding the contests, I personally don't want any prizes. But something over under the avatar or something might be kind of cool. PotM Winner January '24 or something like that.

Haha...agreed Liz!

I had my share of spills and the flooring has held up. Home Depot luxury vinyl (Lifeproof) are great 100% waterproof all PVC and look good. You just need to seal the edges around the molding so it doesn't spread to the next room or go underneath. I have areas where it goes through but so far OK. I have to go back around with silicone but hard to get it done behind the tanks, only 9" there.

Best looking tank, with or without discus. Best looking small and large tanks. Best planted tank.
