Last night i decided to do a water change on my 155gal. It usually takes alittle while so i started watching tv. The tank is in the same room so its usually no big deal. Well then i decided to get some exercise in while im watching tv and then my friend text me so i started texting too. After a bit i sat on the floor and just happened to look over and 'holy sh*t!!'
I flew out to the kitchen and reversed the syphon just in time as a few drips ran down the back of the tank. My husband heard me swearing and ran in the room(fastest i have ever seen him get off the comp. lol) and was like 'oh you better not have..' I swear i almost had a mini stroke.
The water was all the way up against the bottom of the glass tops and if id waited a few seconds longer it wouldve been a disaster and probably the end of me keeping large amounts of water in the living room. Just thinkin about it gets my heart racing again. I have never done that before and i plan on paying more attention from now on..or at least getting something that beeps when the water gets too high lol
