What’s the dumbest thing you’ve accidentally dosed/dumped in your tank?

[Ziggy17]

Mine was Koral MD. It was morning and hadn’t had my first coffee. Went down and dosed 5 ml of Iodine, or so I thought. Turns out it was Koral MD. Same size bottle…. I panicked, whipped up a 15% WC and hoped for the best. Luckily at that small amount into my system didn’t result in any deaths. But not the way I wanted to start my day at 6:30 am.

What’s yours?

Cold freshwater.

I took water out of the fresh bin instead of the salt bin. I noticed it mid water change and corrected it quickly.

Well, was meant for me instead of my tank. A couple of times its been my cappuccinos.

Mushrooms, the dump and pray method, PH 10 calibration solution, dosed 1500ML of kalk slurry by accident, citric acid, tap water - if it doesn’t break you, it makes you stronger! LOL

Used vinegar at a cup full instead of capful. Next morning was horrified. That was about 10 years ago. I am stronger now.

Nopox

I read the directions 3 times before I dosed and still overdosed.

I think since then the directions on the box have changed.

i read something on R2R lately, it was titled “Emergency”, normally I read these to see whose DKH spike by .01, sorry had too. But, I nearly spit my coffee out when I read this. Someone used a Mountain Dew bottle for their Trident waste container. Somehow this person got confused and drank from the waste bottle. I do have to admit that I did a mental evaluation of all my gear to ensure I had no similar opportunities in front of me

Dosed 100ml of microbacter7 instead of 10 (I can read I swear). Not a harmful mistake I just had very cloudy water.
