Water change take two

Do you ever do such a bad job with a water change that you feel like you need to do ANOTHER water change to fix your last one?

My first mistake was using 2 drain hoses... and then only removing 1 to start the refill. I kept wondering why the level in the tank stayed stable but my refill bucket was going down. I was thinking I had a reverse siphon or maybe a hole in the tank. Turns out the hole was in my head.

SOOO after I figure out that bit of rocket science I run out of good salt water. I'm a couple gallons short so I have to put back in the water I just took out.

Sometimes you just have to laugh!

I understood you.........

Have you removed the drain siphon, have one end pop out of the bucket, and siphon all the waste water onto the floor yet ?
