Well some recent ones as i finally got my tanks setup again!

Dropped the 12g when moving it, need a new quarantine.
Put about 4 times as much aquasafe into 55g as needed
put about 5 times too much stress coat into 2g, not on purpose but the betta is very healthy now.
No carbon for 55g, basement smelled horribly due to new ammonia and cycling, now i have some carbon in there.
I bought aquaclear filters, they are violently loud

Probably will have more to come! Some of these i dread happening to me

Had one just yesterday. Not sure how much of it from being dumb.

I've cut my w/c on my 20gal rubbermaid down to every other day(same with feeding). On Sunday I changed about 40% and washed out the filter for the fountain pump. After everything was back up and running everything seemed(looked) ok. Yesterday I went out there to find only 3-4 inches of water in it (about 3 gallons). It seems with the filtter cleaned the pump was strong enough to push the water up to a hole at the top.

It appears one rosey red bit it. It was pushed up and got stuck on the ledge(dried up). The rest appeared ok.
