Regrets?

Regrets. Most of us, in our lives have regrets. Things we should have done, normally compounded by the thing we should not have done. I guess that's just part of living

However, in this hobby the regrets are sometimes more measurable and substantial as they take a physical form as well as an emotion.

So, it's time to share some of those regrets and open up that special place, that spot in or out of your homes where you keep your regrets hidden from your family and friends. Now, don't hide or pretend that YOU dont have a special place, we all have one. For me, it is a bucket that I keep in my garage, for you it might be a bottom drawer in a dresser, an box that you keep in your tank stand, maybe a small dark spot in back of the wardrobe. No matter where you keep your regrets, it's now time to share them with you friends at 3reef and expose them to the world ( dramatic aye )

Some of the things I have in my bucket are:

Unused suction cups
Used suction cups
Rio pump parts ( seemingly thousands of them )
Fountain nozzles
Most of bottle of Cycle
Test kit syringes
Rusty razor blades

So, come on, we all have a box full of useless bits and pieces, things we have bought that just don't work, bits and pieces that " may just be handy one day "

So, what's in your Bucket???

And at the moment I may be regretting that LR I just put in the tank with a sponge on it.  I know better but it seems like so much work to get off.  :-/

JohnO i have only been into saltwater for about 5 months.Thats why there is no overflowing bucket.
