So I decided to follow some advice I had seen here, and take some saltwater from my DT to use in my QT to be sure that there was 0 ammonia in it. So I siphon of about 5 gallons from my DT and replace it with some fresh saltwater I have in a 18 gallon tote. I get it just about right, let the system run for a few minutes to see if I need a little more to get back to my fill line, and I do. At this point I proceed to partially tip over the tote spilling 3 to 4 gallons of water on the floor. I run upsatairs to get towels, and begin sopping up water. After parially cleaning up, I realize my pants and socks are soaked so I take them off a few doors down from my bedroom (I am home alone and in work clothing). At that very moment, pantless, the doorbell rings for an appointment I had set up this morning and forgotten about. So there I stand wet, partially dressed, and wet towels all over my floor. It was a proud moment for me.
Anyways, things cleaned up just fine, and everything worked out great, but yes my first oh crap moment of reefing.
