Any skimmer adjustment made before going to bed is guaranteed to have some sort of overflow resulting in you hearing a giant sucking noise as your pumps run dry due to lack of water because the skimmer has sucked it all up and sent it into your skimmate collection bucket you have conveniently set up because you don't want to have to clean the cup too often This causes you to bolt upright in bed from a deep sleep and race down the stairs half awake, which usually involves you arms and legs akimbo at the bottom of the stairs because there is about 5-10 gallons of water on the floor which is a nice slippery tile. Not too shabby for 3am eh?

Luckily I haven't electrically levitated but I suppose I did scream like a girl considering I am one

Also this must happen at least 3-5 times before you learn anything from it
