STUPID MISTAKES

[j.aaron08]

Just finished building my sump. Looked beautiful, glass cut perfect, caulk dry and sealed. Everything fits great. But oh wait I used the cheap caulk, lets read the bottle. Lets see, it's silicone(thats as far as I got the first time) it's clear, and oh what do you know,; IT'S MOLD RESISTANT!!! Well at least I get to look forward to scraping caulk with a razor blade. Yep I defiantly need a sarcasm font.lol What am I saying I probably would have changed it around in a month anyway.lol Has anyone else done something stupid like this?? Just trying to make me feal better

i can't remember who, but i saw someone make a post that said they used BBs from a BB gun as substrate when they first started out. poor fish.


my worst mistake was probably mis-identifying a sensory pit on my Oscar (when i still had him) as HITH, then when it actually got HITH i ignored it because i thought it was a sensory pit aswell. all is better now though.

i had 2 20 gallon tanks and one leaked so i went to reseal the one while i also set up the other and while taking silicone off i notice the floor was wet. WRONG TANK IDIOT. Yup how about that

at least you have the "theyre the same size" thing going in your favor.

Ok, yah that would suck. Oh a little advice, after you scrape caulk with a razor, rubbing alcohol dissolves the rest. Couldn't find that on google, but tried and true.

I'm a bit of a newbie, can someone explain to me what's wrong here? So the silicon won't mold over, it'll have to grow on the glass and on everything else in the sump..??

Getting a new canister and lifting the top off, lol. I didn't know how it worked, my dad came over and showed me how. I was screaming my head off because I had no clue what i was doing. The carpet was soaked.
