What was the worst mistake you made?

[Creative Genius]

Trading my prized 120gal freshwater show tank for a B+G macaw, finally getting me out of the hobby, 6 months later found out my wife was pregnant and was forced to move. Although I had just enough time to rehabilitate the bird and curve his unwanted behavior and place him in s proper home, in the long run i ended up with nothing for a period of 3 years. Now i have the Fever again, and it shows. Ahhhhh.. It's good to be back though, just hope i don't suffer any more regrets with these new tanks im working on. Lol.

Flooded the house a little, from the second floor. Still haven't lived that one down yet.

Putting my baby jardini in a 150 gallon tub without a cover. Woke up next morning to a dead jardini on the floor.

Prety common thing in tank without cover. Or not weight down cover.
Result is broken heart... My dead Monster.

That's a bummer.

Worst mistake? Logging onto here... $100 G's later...

Same here.
Logging onto here make me 85% more crazy for owning monster size fish.
This site show me that everything is posible.

Sigh...... selling my largest tank and fish, falling asleep during a water change and overfilling my tank, finding the vendor section on here
