Earlier I stopped by for a weekend feeding and decided to add more water to the tank because the water level has gotten low (again) and the pumps start having issues when that happens.

I propped up the five-gallon bucket by the upstairs sink and started filling it from the tap. Instead of waiting there I went in another room for a minute or two. When I returned I heard the water making a different noise. Uh oh. The bucket shifted after I left and the water stream was now not going in said bucket.

Whoops. Fortunately, quite a bit of it was captured in the trash can below, but still there was a lot on the floor.

Fishkeeping can be messy business.
