A DUH moment ...
« on: November 14, 2012, 05:00:45 PM »
Talk about a DUHHHH moment and almost freakin' out. Long story short I went downstairs about an hour ago to get something and while I'm down there I hear "drip.....drip........drip..." I go over to where it is coming from and realize it is coming from directly underneath where my 55g on the floor above it. So I start freaking out thinking I have a slow leak now in this tank which has all these hours into it with the 3D background and all the money in fish and all sorts of thoughts go through my mind.

After going up stairs and nervously looking at everything on the tank/stand/filters/hoses....I realized that I must not have got one of the Rena filters sealed properly when I latched the top back on yesterday when I added some more bio to it ::) I reset the seal and no more drip. I almost had a heart attack there for a few minutes :P

Glad it worked out also, that sounds like a typical day at my house. I have a problem with forgetting to finish things, My wife likes to remind me all the time :)

Yeah sometimes I am my own worst enemy and I create problems for myself. Since I have only had this tank stocked for 10 days now I'm still real nervous about something going wrong, so any little thing that happens my mind automatically jumps to the worst :o
