Friendly reminder: Check your plumbing!

[ashr]

So I just wanted to send everyone a friendly reminder to always check your plumbing lines when your doing your weekly maintenance.

We had a leak from a pipe line bust on us last night away 12:00pm and if I would have been up to catch it i would have lost 30 or so gallons... What a mess it made ! But if I would have been checking on these regularly it wouldn't have happened!!

Just a friendly reminder

Now that I cannot edit my post..
I meant to say,

if I would have not been up to catch it, it would have left a large mess..

That's a good PSA (Public Service Announcement). Although, I had to double check to be sure you were still talking about reefing..

I suppose it's a good idea to check, reefing or otherwise.

haha My bad, I wrote it pretty quick and I suppose i should have taken my time, but it works for both!!

If a pipe suddenly burst or broke free how would weekly inspections prevent it? Also what kind of pipe were you using that would actually burst from an aquarium application?

By checking your plumbing and seals you can see if anything is coming lose or degrading. These things do happen you know.. haha

Also it was from my pump to my chiller. It came undone.. the silicon didnt hold and the force of the pump blew it apart.
