Travis & Vicki Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 I got the carpet professionally cleaned a week or so ago, it looked lovely, i did the water changes in all tanks today, turned my back on the guppy tank, then got distracted, i now have water through half the house, don't think i lost any fish over the top, but the babys are too small to see anyway in the carpet, there are still heaps there, but the house is a smelly swamp, just as well Travis is working out of town Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jude Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Has it got rid of the diesel smell? Seriously, what an awful thing to happen - hope it dries out real soon. I live in dread of doing the same thing myself Cheers Jude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minchton Posted May 13, 2005 Report Share Posted May 13, 2005 Wonderful!!! somebody as stupid as me. I did exactly the same thing. got distracted by a knock at the door and when I finally went back to my Marine tank there was 180 litres of water in my carpet. Fortunately no disaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
