I did that too. Seeing as the bag and the heater were inside the stand and out of sight it took me a while to figure out what the burning smell was.
I was really pissed off when I found out that salt kills plans. my LFS has been telling me to add salt with every water change and that killed my vals.
That the E on my gas gauge does not mean "enough"...
When she says "no nothing's wrong" something usually is.
Algea grows phenomenonally well in direct sunlight!
Never put a silvini cichlid with ANY other fish.. RIP Y'all.. (sorry!)

*just because others do short-cuts and are fine (putting male bettas together, never do water changes, etc) doesn't mean you can do it and not have massive die offs and feel really super bad
*you should always teach others in your household how to prime hob filters
*never pack your fish net before getting the fish out of the tank you're moving across town - also paired with - don't get mad at the bf who lovingly helped you out by packing your gravel vac so you would have less to do before moving the 28 gallon tank across town because you just said "don't pack the fish net this time" ( poor bf he felt so bad lol)
*don't make fun of the customers who take 20 minutes picking out the perfect zebra danio or you will become the crazy neon tetra lady (who luckily can net her own fish after taking 20 minutes to pick out just the right one)
*while there are no stupid questions, there are stupid people asking the questions

I did a massive pruning in my 75 gallon and took out over half the plants. I found out just how much plants outcompete algae for nutrients. Massive algae problem for over a month. I learned to prune more often and not take too many out at one time.
