thermometer read 78 degrees F. I tended to the tanks on Sunday morning instead of Saturday afternoon. This was because something
happened that had never happened since I started with saltwater tanks in 2008, almost nine years ago. While the 3.5 gallons of
saltwater was up on the stir plate being stirred in a plastic cat litter bucket, somehow I maybe snagged one of the electric cords
going to the stir plate, aerator, or heater, and the entire bucket came down, flooding the laundry room from one end to the other. It
took me half an hour to mop it all up and try to stop water damage. I made a new batch of RO water late Saturday night so I could change
the saltwater tanks on Sunday morning.

chlorine was dumped down there on 5/1/17. While the chlorine was down to below 1 ppm (from a high over 10 ppm)
by 5/5/17, I did not want to damage the RO system or trap chlorine in there for later release. Things should be back to normal next week.
