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?

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...
