Emergency water change!

Was fooling around with my auto feeder and I set it too high, whoops.. the whole tank looked like a biopellet reactor on steroids. Lol emergency water change 20% and now everything is back to normal. Better than when I fed actually, as it was almost time for a WC. Sure gave me a scare though. It's those little things you have to always be prepared for.

Having mixed, circulated heated water on hand is very handy. I always have 50 gallons circulating in my furnace room, can unroll a hose, and pump into tank in minutes.

That's the "scout's" way, always being prepared. Glad you were, a lesson, or reminder for us all.

Shouldn't be a problem if you get out 10% every day for 3-4 days right? I feel like I have done that without issues.
