Wasted no time pulling the trap and there he was...

You're playing with your new light and your kiddo starts crying... Next thing you know... you left it on 100% for a couple hours and burnt your SPS.

Oooof. Were they able to recover?
We will find out. Haha
xferring water in to a brute for water change day. I run a hose from my water room in the garage to the brute which is on wheels & in the house. Standing in the kitchen talking to Tish - she has water running in the sink but something about the running water sounds a little odd.
DOH! - forgot I was xferring water. "Alexa - STOP TRANSFERRING WATER".
Went through every beach towel we have in the house on that one.

This is a very good thread so I or we beginners can learn from y’all mistakes. A smart person learns from their mistakes. A wise person learns from others. Darn, I think I may be only smart then : / haha
... your a noob and are running your rodi filling a brute can the first time, then fall asleep. The second time is even better. 
Needless to say the floor in my old basement was pretty damn clean for a while.

So not as major as others but so annoying..
When you are opening your 3rd phosphate reagent packet because the Hanna checker timed out...again... before you could see the reading because you got caught up doing something else.
Happens every single time. Need an audible alarm on those checkers

Been there done that.
Pro tip.
1. Pre-prep the packet before even starting the test, scrape the seams with a piece of the packet you cut off too.
2. Start with a clean vial, no smudges. Handle the vial with a terry cloth or micro fiber towel from this point forward.
3. After you pull the vial out from the 1st step you've got 2 minutes to hold the button in to start the timer. As soon as you get ALL the reagent in the vial hold down the button to start the timer.
4. Shake the crap out of the vial for one minute then use the next 30 seconds to a minute to roll the vial on it's side to get rid of all the air bubbles.
5. Put the vial in close to the 1 minute mark and shut the lid, a little over a minute is ok.
6. Take your reading.
Enjoy no more wasted packets.
I will definitely try this. Currently averaging about 3 packets per test... always seems to be something else that grabs the attention in this hobbyBeen there done that.

It’s a combination of bothMany many whoops moments over here, the older - nope the busier I get- the more moments I experience....
older and wiser, trying to do a lot in less time... older and wiser the busier I find myself
Those stupid packets piss me off too. They are such a pain in the ass.
