Forgot to turn off top-off water
Geeze man, no need to get out because you forgot to turn off the top-off water. For about $100 you can set yourself up with a cheap auto-top off system. I have the Tunze Auto-topoff system and it has been reliable for the past 4 years. Oh well.

Dude...
You made on of the most common rookie mistakes as a rookie. It's rough but no real indicator of your potential in this hobby. At least sit on your gear for a little while before you sell. give yourself time to think and destress.

I agree with everyone, we all can tell you our stories.
I myself, when I got my big tank, was almost crying a couple times trying to set it up.... As water is pouring out the top Display on my head twice, then once when I got up in the middle of the night to the display starting to pour over... Again rookie mistakes I made, but since then never had an issue. I wouldn't leave, and I would recommend investing in the good stuff, like the Tunze ATO. I also use this without issue. We are here to help, just ask us!

It's never too late for these.
I had to dismantle my topoff/mixing station in the basement so my mixing tank is temporarily sitting on top of my fridge. So first time I have run the ro/di upstairs in this place. Yeah I flooded the kitchen a little this weekend. I set an alarm on my phone. It's only useful if you set it again when you determine the fillup needs more time lol. Gotta power through.
