Well what a plonker I am.....
I noticed a rather large leaf in the hose going from the tank to filter. So I thought right ho I will just sort that out.
I turned the filter off....removed the hose connector from the filter..got a bucket and took the hose off the connector to drain the hose into the bucket and retrieve the large leaf.....and you can guess the rest of course................ I had forgotten to lift the outflow pipe out of the aquarium!!!
I did manage to lift the pipe before the bucket filled up but not without some water on the floor!!!
The wife is not happy as the tank is in the living room and the carpet near the tank looks a little damp!!
Do you know, we have been married over 35 years, and I have never heard her use words like that!! Don't know where she learnt that language!🙂![LOL :lol: :lol:](/forum/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/icon_lol.gif)
