i feel your pain man, i made a stupid mistake a few days ago. i put some medication in my tank which makes my skimmer go crazy and produce really liquidy skimmate like crazy, for some reason i forgot this, and the tube i have from the waste collection cup goes to a big bucket which sits on the floor. needless to say i came home from school and found that my 375 gallon tank and spit A LOT of water onto our hardwood floors, and after we cleaned up and mopped forever, when you walked water came squirting up from where the boards meet, ya NOT good :(
