Doh! This is why I'm not a plumber!
 
Decided tonight was a good night to test run the 65g system... Of course I decided to get it running just before I headed out for 2-3 hours of work.

Bad plan... Came home to 50g of water on the floor - not sure what happened, but I think the threaded PVC connector somehow worked its way loose... result - think unattended firehose.

See you guys on the flip side - my computer was within spray radius... I don't think it enjoyed the gallon or so of water in the monitor - or the spray in the CPU.

Anyone do plumbing for beer? :lol:

I'm pretty good at this stuff if you want some help Andy (has plumbed over 20 tanks in the last two years).

LOL, yeah I'm not as bad as I make myself out either... First major water spill... I guess it had to happen eventually.

Luck was somewhat on my side... I hated the carpet anyway... Just needed a kick in the arse to remove it. And I happened to have a whole parts computer dumped in my lap last weekend - so here I am back up and running just 24 hours later.

Now... To solve the plumbing problem...
