ahahaha. I wish I had only done it twice. At the start I'd forget it probably 80 percent of the time. I fill 18 litre water jugs and place them in a 5 gallon pail for a little extra capacity. Lucky for me there's a floor drain right there though. I've gotten much better now though and rarely forget.

you need to use the square 20g. 50 gallons won't fit in a round 20g container, I've tried.

So that's the trick! I've spilled more water then I can remember. The worse was an extra large rubbermaid container of curing live rock, it sprung a leak and the water spilled all over the floor!

I'm pretty good with the RO but I have a habit of shooting water out of the tank with powerheads while blowing off the rocks.

Doesn't anyone have timers in thier houses? It takes me roughly 73ish minutes to fill an 18L water jug, so I set the timer on the microwave for 73 minutes and go down and wait 2 more min for the last 3 inches or so. Haven't spilled a drop yet.
