When your testing out something and there might be a change it might spill water all over ... always keep the electrical plug in your hands NOT on the floor mixed up with all the rest of the wires.  (personal experience  )

If you don't have a float valve don't forget you turned on the valve to the ro unit to refill the sump. That hasn't happened to me before  break out the wet vac. _________ "The important thing is not to stop questioning. Curiosity has its own reason for existing"

Make sure all the lines running to and from your tank are secured, so you don't wake up at 5 am wondering what that gurgling noise in the living room is... (My friend lost about 12 gallons of his 90 onto his carpet... not good) | |

Don't use the same circuit breaker for your tank and furnace! (Especially since the furnace can and will turn on when you're not at home; popping the breaker, partially draining the tank, killing the MH lights, ultimately causing you and your fish much stress!) _________ -Mickey 175g Bowfront - 75g Refugium - 100g Sump - 3 Phoenix 14k 250W MH - AquaC EV240 Skimmer - 240lbs Haitian Live Rock - 4" DSB - Red Velvet Fairy Wrasse - Azure Damsel - Banggia Cardinal - Firefish Goby - Blackcap Basslet - Purple Tang - Powder Brown Tang - Regal Tang - Green Manderin - 2 Skunk Cleaner Shrimp - 2 Peppermint Shrimp - 2 Emerald Crabs - Rose BTA - Orange Linkia - Tuxedo Urchin - Spiney Urchin (hitchhiker) | |
