    Niiice! Well I just finished my change but I messed up too. So I had 8 gallons of ready to go water...I used my syphon and took out what I thought was about 4 gallons...dumped it....then repeated. Next as usual I dumped my 2 5 gal buckets (4 g in ea.) into tank. But i guessed wrong on the amount I took out so I was short almost 2 gallons!!! Didnt go all the way back to wally world to get more distilled water so I topped off with treated tap...OUCH! Thought I would get everything all clean and happy for our Puffer pick up tonight, but maybe made things worse than b4! ARGH!!!

    This is slightly off topic and a lil different... but i managed to overflow my 20k gallon in ground pool this summer

    I turned the hose on and forgot to check it for like 3 days
