I failed Kobayashi Maru
I was sitting in chat, having a nice lively civilized conversation, like we always do in chat (yep), when all of a sudden, I hear a GUSHING from my sump room -- gushing like someone pulled the plug off a fire hydrant.
I ran to my sump room to find my 33g trash bin that I had new saltwater warming, getting ready for a water change, had split down the side!! I of course start laughing maniacally and screaming for the hubby who was upstairs trying to plug the leak with my arm LOL
I manage to tilt it sideways to get the waterlin below the crack, but by then, 15g had already gushed out. We tried to lift it and MORE gushing as another crack formed at the bottom. More laughter from me.
Finally we scooped out the water w/ another bucket as much as we could, and poured the rest in the tub.
Luckily, it was in the basement utility room, which has a cement floor and a small drain pipe. Some got on the carpet, but thank heavens for my bissell. Sucked all the water up from the carpet.
Could've been worse! Could've been my tank :D Good thing I was up late and in the basement!!
