How not to do a water change

[FransSny]

Quick thought on how NOT to do a large WC

DO NOT drill a syphon break in your return
DO have the power go out at 3 in the morning
DO have 300 L of H2O flood your wifes favourite persian carpet
DO spend the best pasrt of the day with a variety of towels, W & D vacuum, mops etc cleaning up
DO replace the water


PS going down to Balito this weekend....havent been in years, any good snorklig spots
