reefhugger Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Okay, here it is. I decided to gift myself some nice looking light holders instead of having the lights splayed inconveniently across my tanks. The holders are mounted on the side rims of the tanks. I carefully measure the width of the tank rims and the lengths of each light. I order the holders...they are attractive and well made. At NO time does it dawn on me that the glass covers over each tank fit flush to the sides. And this is even after LIFTING the glass covers so I can measure! So do I get the idiot award for the year? 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 I completely empathize. I get “genius” ideas but fail to consider some glaringly obvious things that creates a total fail more often than I’ll admit to 🤣 Laughing with you definitely! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The competition is tough, but you are a contender. The devil is in the details, and you missed a big one; who hasn't? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flipper Posted December 17, 2023 Share Posted December 17, 2023 Is this an opening for us all to tell the dumbest aquatic mistake we ever made? BTW, there are no "idiots", only students.😆 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
